periodically cleaning the stove is important for safety, efficient operation and -in
the same time- increasing the life time of the stove.
do not use steel wool, hydrogen chloride or other corrosive, aggressive or scrat-
ching products to clean neither the internal nor the external surface of the stove.
Before starting executing maintenance or cleaning make sure the fire has
extinguished completely and that any hot surfaces are cooled down suf-
ficiently.
• Failing to observe the maintenance procedures can result in personal
injuries, operating malfunctions and irreparable damage to the stove and
building.
• The �ue/chimney must be kept clean at all times as soot deposits or not
burnt residues may reduce its opening. culmination of soot deposits or
residues might even catch fire leading to dangerous situations.
