contact an authorized technician who will replace it woth an original spare part.

ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS
When the external temperatures are severe and/or there are adverse weather conditions (strong wind), the
chimney is subjected to a lack in draught thus impeding a correct fume expulsion.
•
Fill the heart with few wood logs and keep air register valves opened completely.
11.9
CREOSOTE DANGER
The use of humid and/or bad quality wood (for example resinous wood) cause creation of
creosote along the chimney flue obstructing fume passages.
The creosote is flammable and if amassed over the time it must be removed in order to
prevent the risk of fire of the chimney flue.

INTRODUCTION
For a long working life of the stove, have a periodic cleaning of the stove as described in the following paragrafs.
•
Fume outlet pipes (fume c chimney flue + chimney pot) must always be cleaned, scrubbed and
checked by an authorized technician in compliance with local regulations, with the instructions of the
manufacturer and those of your insurance company.
•
If there are no local regulations and no instruction from your insurance company, it is necessary to have your
fume pipe, chimney flue and chimney pot cleaned at least once a year.
•
It is also necessary to have the combustion chamber, motors and fans cleaned and to have the gaskets and
the electronical elements (if there are) checked at least once a year.
All these operations must be planned in time with your Autorized Technical Assistance
Service.
•
After a long ineffective time, before turning on the stove check if there are obstructions in the fume exhaust.
•
If the stove had been using continuously and intensely, the whole system (chimney included), must be
cleaned and checked more frequently.
•
In case of replacement of damaged pieces please ask for the original spare part at the Autorized Retailer.
12.2
BURNING POT AND ASH TRAY CLEANING
For a good combustion, before of every stove ignition, remove the ash which has settled in the burning pot. The
abundant ash obstructes the primary air flow which is fundamental for a good combustion.
•
Remove ash from the burning pot by shaking it to let it fall in the ash tray.
•
If full, the sah tray must be empty.
•
Ash must be kept in a metal container with sealed cap, the same container must not ever be in contact with
flammable materials (for example lent over a wooden floor), as ash inside keeps embers glowing for a long
time.
