Maintenance and cleaning of the stove
Before effecting any maintenance operation or cleaning
on the stove, take the following precautions:
• be sure that all parts of the stove are cold.
• be sure that the ashes are completely cold.
• be sure that the general switch is in the “OFF” position.
• be sure that the plug is pulled out of the socket to avoid
accidental contact.
• once the maintenance phase is completed check that
everything is in order as per before the intervention (the
brazier is placed correctly).
Follow carefully the following cleaning
instructions. Failure to follow these
instructions could create problems with
the operation of the stove.
Cleaning the brazier and brazier support
When the flame assumes a red colour or seems weak, and
is accompanied by black smoke, this means that there
are ash deposits or incrustations that do not permit the
correct functioning of the stove and that must be removed.
Remove the brazier every day by simply raising it from its
slot; then clean out the ashes and eventual incrustations
that may have formed, paying particular attention to
liberating the holes by using a pointed tool (not included
with the stove).
This operation is made particularly necessary before
every lighting the first several times and above all if using
pellets that differ from those supplied by our company.
The frequency of this operation is determined by how
frequently the stove is used and the choice of pellets.
It is also a good idea to check the brazier support,
vacuuming the eventual ash present.
Cleaning the glass
The glass is a self cleaning type, therefore, while the
stove is working, a veil of air is blown across its surface to
remove ash and dirt; nevertheless over a period of several
hours, a greyish patina tends to form which should be
cleaned when the stove is next shut down. How dirty the
glass becomes also depends on the quality and quantity
of pellets used.
Cleaning the glass should be done when the stove is cold
with products recommended and tested by our company.
When performing this operation, always check that the
grey seal around the glass is in a good state; failure to
check the efficiency of this gasket can compromise the
function of the stove.
Poor quality pellets can, in any case, cause the glass to
become dirty.
If the glass is broken, do not attempt to
light the stove.
Cleaning the surfaces
To clean the surfaces, use a rag dampened with water or
with water and a neutral detergent.
Cleaning the metal parts
To clean the metal parts of the stove, use a soft cloth
dampened with water. Never clean the metal parts with
alcohol, thinners, petrol, acetone or other degreasing
substances. If such substances are used, our company
declines any responsibility.
Eventual variations in the colour of the metal parts can be
caused by an incorrect use of the stove.
The use of aggressive detergents or thin-
ners can damage the surfaces of the stove.
Before using any detergent it is advisable
to try it on a small section out of sight or contact
the Authorized Assistance Centre for information
regarding the product.
Ash box
Open the door and use a
vacuum to remove all the
ash deposited inside the ash
box.
This operation must be
performed more or less
frequently depending on the
quality of the pellets used.
