8-MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE ASH

One recommends adequate cleaning of the hearth for proper combustion. To remove the ash from the hearth use a metal scoop and brush

and store the ash in non-ammable containers for transport.

Hot ashes must not be stored outside unsupervised or thrown into the rubbish bin. Allow it to cool in the open air in a

metal container.

CLEANING THE REFRACTORY PARTS (ALUTEC®)

They do not require any cleaning as the characteristic of this material (ALUTEC®) is that it does not absorb soot but instead it repels it when

the replace is hot. After the start-up stage in which the replace tends to tarnish, the refractory parts will turn white again, starting from

the base of the ame, when the combustion chamber reaches working temperature (~ 400° C).

If this phenomena does not take place it may be caused by:

• Damp or resinous wood that does not emit sucient heat or that dirties the combustion chamber

• Chimney with poor performance and therefore smoke stays in the combustion chamber for too long, dirtying the rebox

• Chimney with low performance that does not allow the closed replace to reach high eciency and therefore adequate temperatures

for the refractory parts.

Never clean the refractory parts with a damp cloth or other as it could get stained.

If required use a dry paintbrush to remove thick accumulations of soot.

Should the Alutec not whiten, it must not be considered as a defect in light of the warnings and indications reported

above.

CLEANING PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN

CLEANING THE CHIMNEY

We recommend the mechanical cleaning of the ue pipe at least once a year; excess build-up of unburned waste could cause problems

with the smoke outlet pipe and start a re in the ue pipe itself. To clean the chimney ue by accessing from the appliance, remove the

smoke deector: to remove it properly lift it from the front part and make it simultaneously come forwards to free it from the resting

supports at the back.
