6.8 DIsPOsAL Of AshEs

6.9 CLEANING ALukER
Ash from natural (non-treated) wood burned in stoves or open fireboxes is composed mainly of calcium, silicon, potassium and magnesium oxides.
The ashes can therefore be used as a fertiliser for plants or in the garden, albeit not exceeding 2.6 kg per 10 m
2
annually.
a
The ashes should be placed in a metal container with a sealed cover. The sealed container should be placed on a noncombustible
surface at a safe distance from combustible materials until the cinders have been completely extinguished.
d
Only when they have been fully extinguished can the ashes be thrown away with organic waste, assuming that nails or other non-
organic material are not present.
The interior of the unit has been constructed from an innovative material called “Aluker”.
Aluker is based on substances that are completely non-toxic and is heat-resistant up to 1400°C.
In spite of its considerable strength it is not recommended that you throw large pieces of wood forcefully against the bricks.
Aluker darkens when the firebox is first lit but returns to its natural colour gradually as the bricks warm up.
Some advice for optimum use of Aluker bricks:
- don’t use water to put out the fire - leave the bricks to cool by themselves;
- don’t scratch Aluker bricks with metal objects.
To clean Aluker bricks use an ordinary brush.

6.10 REMOvING ThE sMOkE bAffLE PLATEs
The appliance is fitted with a smoke baffle plate, which are designed
to lengthen the path of the flue gas or smoke by increasing the heat
exchange surface area.
The smoke baffle plate rest on supports inside the fireboxes, as shown
in figure.
Should it be necessary to replace the smoke baffle plate, push the
smoke baffle plate upwards, turn them downwards and remove them.

6.12 CLOsING DOOR sysTEM
Before any long period during which the firebox will be inactive we recommend that you carry out a thorough cleaning, thereby avoiding encrustations
and oxidations which will be difficult to clean later. We also recommend that as a preventative measure you carry out a general checkup as outlined
in the paragraph headed “
PERIODIC CONTROL
”.
After a period of inactivity problems relating to the expansion of parts or the release of odorous gases may arise. We therefore recommend that upon
restarting the unit you do not immediately run it at full power. Nor should you activate the ventilation system until the odorous gases have dispersed.
This problem can be dealt with by simply airing the room.
a
This operation should be carried out by specialised personnel.
The “rise n’ fall” door closing system must be checked periodically, at least once every two years; attention must be paid in particular to lubricating
the roller located inside the double glazing or, depending on the model, the pulleys located outside the double glazing.
