Maintenance; Cleaning The Grate And The Grate Support - Piazzetta P962 Instructions For Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

7.0 MAINTENANCE

Pursuant to current regulations on the safety of electrical equipment, you must contact a Piazzetta After-Sales Service Centre or a qualified
electrician for all and any work connected with installation, maintenance or servicing that involves access to electrical parts.
Maintenance is to be considered compulsory for correct and efficient stove operation. If maintenance is not carried out with the recommended
frequency, stove performance could suffer. The manufacturer will not be responsible for stove deterioration or malfunction if due to poor
maintenance.
All maintenance work (cleaning, any replacements, etc.) must be carried out when the stove 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.
7.1 CLEANING THE GRATE AND THE GRATE SUPPORT Fig. 62
Clean the grate area periodically (approx. once every two days) and
whenever the stove is to be lit:
• Remove the grate baffle plate and lift out the grate.
• Remove any ash or other material that may have built up, taking
particular care to free any clogged holes using a sharp pointed tool.
• Make sure the "ignition hole", located on the rear of the grate, is kept
clean.
• Check the grate support and remove any ash.
The frequency of cleaning depends on how much the stove is used and
the quality of the fuel.
After cleaning and before lighting the stove, check that the grate
is correctly inserted and pushed back towards the lower rear
baffle. Refit the grate baffle plate.
7.2 CLEANING THE ASH DRAWER
Every two days, check the ash drawer to see if it needs emptying. For the disposal of ashes see section 6.15.
7.3 CLEANING THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER - Fig. 62 / 65
Once a week clean the firebox as follows:
• remove the grate and the ash pan; (Fig. 62)
• loosen but do not remove the two hexagon-head brass screws M6
located on the sides in the top part of the two lateral baffles; (Fig. 64)
• with one hand lift the "Upper rear baffle"; (Fig. 64)
The "Upper rear baffle" is now free and could fall unless held
with one hand.
• with the other hand tilt the "Lower rear baffle" outwards and then
remove it; (Fig. 65)
• let the upper rear baffle return to its original position;
• using a vacuum cleaner remove the ash from the firebox;
• after having thoroughly cleaned the firebox, remount the pieces
proceeding in the reverse order to above;
• ensure that the lugs of the "Lower rear baffle" are properly inserted
into the relative notches in the sides of the firebox; (Fig. 65)
now secure the "Lower rear baffle" by attaching it to the relative
notches in the "Upper rear baffle".
This type of cleaning requires a vacuum cleaner suitable for
holding ash.
