- Do not use detergent to clean the metallic parts of the unit. These should be cleaned

using a dry cloth to remove any accumulated dust;

- We recommend cleaning the chimney flue and its throat (located at the outlet of the unit)

at least once a year. This can be done by removing the fume baffle (removable plate located in the

ceiling of the combustion chamber);

- If the unit has not been used for a long time, check whether the flue pipes are free of any

blockage before lighting the stove;

- We recommend regular inspections of the unit and its fume outlet by an expert technician.

10.2. Removing the fume baffle

To remove the fume baffle, please follow the steps below:

1 - Hold the fume baffle using both hands, one placed under and the other above the plate

(see Fig.41-[A]);

2 - Gently push up the baffle to release it from its lower support (the rear vermiculite plate)

and upper brackets (steel rods). Once you release the plate, lift and pull it forward to create a

proper gap between the baffle and the rear vermiculite plate (see Fig.41-[B]);

3 - Using this gap, rotate the baffle plate sideways and downwards (see Fig. 41-[C]);

4 - Remove the baffle plate away from the unit (see Fig.41-[D]);

5 - Be careful not to damage any of the unit's vermiculite plates (side, rear and back) when

removing the baffle plate;
