6.9 Ash box

Open the door and extract the ash box. Use a vacuum to remove
all the ash deposited within.
This operation must be performed more or less frequently de-
pending on the quality of the pellets used (Fig. 14).

6.10 Cleaning the glass

Fig
. 14: cleaning the ash box
The glass is a self cleaning type, therefore, while the stove is working, a veil of air is blown across its surface to remove
ash and dirt; nevertheless over a period of several hours, a greyish patina tends to form which should be cleaned when the
stove is next shut down. How dirty the glass becomes also depends on the quality and quantity of pellets used.
Cleaning the glass should be done when the stove is cold with products recommended and tested by our company.
When performing this operation, always check that the grey seal around the glass is in a good state; failure to check the
efficiency of this gasket can compromise the function of the stove. Poor quality pellets can, in any case, cause the glass to
become dirty.
WARNING! If the glass is broken, do not attempt to light the stove.

6.11 Cleaning the clearing system

Until a reasonable experience is acquired regarding the operating conditions, it is advisable to perform this maintenance
on at least a monthly basis.
• Remove the electrical feed cable;
• Remove the cap from the T-joint and proceed with the cleaning of the ducts. If necessary, at least for the first few times,
call in qualified personnel;
• Carefully clean the smoke discharge system: for this, contact a professional chimney sweep;
• Once a year clean the dust, cobwebs, etc. from the zone behind the internal covering panels, paying particular attention to the fans.

6.12 Cleaning the fans

The stove is furnished with fans (environmental and smoke) positioned at the rear and below the stove.
Eventual deposits of dust or ash on the blades of the fan can cause an imbalance in the fans leading to noisy performance.
It is, therefore, necessary to clean the fans at least once a year.
Since said operation requires dismantling several parts of the stove, have the fans cleaned only by our Technical Assistance
Centre.
6.13 Season end cleaning
At the end of the season, when the stove will not be used for some time, it is advisable to perform a thorough and general
cleaning:
• Remove all the pellets from the container and the screw feeder;
• Carefully clean the brazier, the brazier support, the combustion chamber and the ash box
Once the preceding points have been observed, it only means that the state of the stove has been verified. It is necessary to
thoroughly clean the smoke discharge tube or flue and check the condition of the basket. If necessary, order a new one from our
Authorized Assistance Centre. If necessary, lubricate the hinges of the door and the handle. Also check the ceramic fibre cord near
the glass, on the internal wall of the door; if it is worn or too dry, order a new one from the Authorized Assistance Centre.
