6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

ATTENTION!

All cleaning operations of all parts should be

conducted with the stove cold.

6.1. CLEANING TO BE PERFORMED BY THE USER

6.1.1. Cleaning the glass

Specific products can be used to clean the glass (see our pricelist), a

cloth dampened with water and ammonia or a bit of white ash and a

newspaper. Any soot and dirt accumulations take longer to clean.

ATTENTION!

Do not spray the product on the painted parts or on

the gaskets of the door (ceramic fibre cord)

The ceramic glass installed on MCZ products are resistant to

heat up to 750°C and are tested and inspected before and

after assembly to check for cracks, bubbles and holes.

Glass, although highly resistant to temperatures, is a fragile

element and therefore the door should be handled with care

without slamming or forcing it. Glass, since it is not elastic,

can break.

This type of glass does not burst or shatter but if it should

break, due to the above, it will only crack.

6.1.2. Cleaning upper calorite deflectors

They do not require particular care. With prolonged use, however, the

effective but porous material of which the deflectors inside the firebox

are made, wears out or can get damaged. Only when their thickness is

reduced by half or they break is it necessary to replace them.

6.1.3. Cleaning out the ashes

This operation should be performed with the stove off. Adequate ash

drawer cleaning is also recommended for correct combustion.

Ashes which are still hot must not be dumped outside in an

uncontrolled manner or put in the dustbin. Leave them to cool

down in the open air in a metal container.

6.1.4. Cleaning of stainless steel and satin-finish surfaces

Normally these surfaces do not need to be treated, but if they do,

avoid cleaning them with abrasive materials. For surfaces in stainless

and satin brushed steel we recommend cleaning with a paper towel or a

clean dry cloth moistened with a detergent based on non-ionic

surfactants ( < 5%). A spray glass cleaner may be used.
