6.1 PERIODIC CHECKS
Check for any formation of creosote in the pipes connecting to the flue and inside the flue during the seasons when the appliance is in
o
peration, inspecting them at least once every two months.
The combustion of the wood (especially if moisture content is higher than 30%) produces pitch and other organic vapours that give rise to
creosote. The formation of creosote causes fouling, which obstructs the flue and the passage of smoke.
“Creosote” is inflammable and can catch fire, causing serious damage to both the flue and to the structure of the dwelling.
Only use recommended fuels (see “FUEL” paragraph).
If creosote has accumulated, it must be removed to reduce the risk of fire and to improve heat exchange.
The following must be free from obstruction and inspected at least once every two months:
- the flueways (connection to the flue, flue pipe, chimney stack);
- the fresh air intake;
- the appliance hearth (correct position of the plates, the ash tray, the grate and grid, deflectors, smoke dampers, etc);
- the ventilation system (apertures, air ducts, grilles) if installed.
Check that the automatic door closing system and the air dampers are in proper working order.
Maintenance of all the above heating system must be carried out at least once a year before the season when it will be used. We
also recommend periodically checking the whole heating system during the period of operation until the time when it will not be
used for several months.

6.2 CLEANING THE CERAMIC CLADDING
The ceramic cladding must first be cleaned with a soft dry cloth before using any detergent (even mild detergent).
Products are available on the market which are suitable for cleaning ceramics as well as concentrated products for cleaning porcelain. These
will remove oil, ink, coffee and wine stains, etc.
Never soak the ceramic cladding or clean it with cold water when it is still hot as the thermal shock could cause it to crack.

6.3 CLEANING THE STEEL PARTS
The steel sections of the cladding should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth before applying any detergents. Afterwards it is recommended that
you use a degreasing agent such as acetone or vinegar diluted in water.
DT2010061-03
6.4 CLEANING THE PAINTED METAL PARTS
When cleaning the painted metal parts of the product use a soft cloth moistened with water
Never clean metallic parts using alcohol, solvents, petroleum-based products, acetones or other degreasing or abrasive substances.
In the event of such substances being used the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage caused.
Discolouration of metallic parts may be the result of misuse.
All maintenance work (cleaning, any replacements, etc.) must be carried out when the firebox is shutdown and cold.
Do not use materials that could scratch or damage the glass, since scratches could become cracks. Under no circumstances use abrasive
substances.
