1. During the heating season, have your chimney regularly inspected by a profes-
sional. Soot removal (sweeping) is recommended every two months to avoid
creosote build-up.
2. Remove excess ash after each use. Do not wait for the ashes to overflow the
fireplace. Excess ash can obstruct the supply of fresh air during combustion.
Ash removal is explained in the USE section of this manual.
3. Cleaning the inside of the glass:
• Tilt the door 90° using the fireplace handle.
• Protect painted parts and flooring.
• Finish with a non-abrasive glass cleaner or clear water. It is also possible to
use ashes and water to effectively clean accumulated soot.

CAUTION
Before carrying out maintenance, wait until the unit has cooled down
completely. The glass needs to be lowered completely in order to be able
to tilt the door.
!
These four steps are described below.
• Vacuum the ashes from the joint section.
• Check condition of seals
• Lubricate the slides
• Clean the glass closing magnets
At least once every two years, remove and
clean the smoke deflector to prevent soot from
blocking the smoke outlet.
