3.4 Cleaning and maintenance
After the heating season, it is recommended to clean the fireplace and the flue gas pipes carefully.
Any dropping heating performance is almost always the consequence of the strong contamination of
the flues. For cleaning, the baffle plate (Picture 7) is to be pulled forward. This way, the flues can
be cleaned from the inside or – after removing the flue gas pipe – from above. After cleaning, the
baffle plate (Picture 7) is be pushed back fully again.
Warning!
Following every heating season you are advised to examine the fireplace thoroughly. If any repair or
reconditioning is needed, please, contact your local dealer in a timely manner, and specify the
model number and serial number of your equipment (as seen on the model plate).
External surfaces may be maintained only after the fireplace cooled down, and following the first
commissioning. Use cold water for cleaning, or soap, washing ingredient in extraordinary cases,
then wipe it dry. Before its first use, clean the ROBAX inspection glass with a wet and clean cloth,
and then put a few drops of glass–ceramics cleaner onto both sides of the glass, and spread them
with the use of kitchen paper tissues. It provides an invisible film on the valuable surface of the
Robax glass. This film helps to keep the glass clean, and facilitates regular cleaning operations.
ROBAX S for slightly contaminated surfaces – a commercially available glass surface cleaning agent –
may as well be used for the cleaning of the medium or strongly contaminated glass surfaces of the
fireplace. Towards this end, spray small quantities of the agent to the cold surfaces, spread it, and
wash it down with a wet cloth, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth. In case there are sticky
fuel deposits on these surfaces, first scale simply them with a ceramic-plate scraper held in flat
angle, and then clean the surfaces as described above.
Cleaning of the ceramic surfaces dirt and grease are to be removed with soap and water.
Cleaning of the soapstone: the soapstone is a natural stone, therefore minor colour differences may
occur ; as it is normal, they may not serve as a basis for quality complaints! To clean the soapstone
from dirt and fat with water and soap, as well as small scratches, use sand paper (grain size 240).
Warning: Under no circumstances you may use sponge, scouring, aggressive or scratching cleaning
agents! If the grate is blocked so that the equipment cannot serve the intended function, the grate
is to be removed for cleaning.
