Caring for your EcoSmart Fire

Maintenance and cleaning must only be performed when the
Burner is OFF, COMPLETELY EMPTY & dRY and at ROOM
TEMPERATURE.
If service is required, there are two specific areas to check for
cleaning. These are the Burner and the firebox or immediate
surrounds in cases where a firebox has not been installed.
general surrounds are maintained as you would a standard piece
of furniture by dusting and polishing the surfaces on a regular basis
during your general cleaning routine.
POWDER-COAT SURFACES
the powder-coat will be damaged if you drip bioethanol on it when
the burner is not completely cold. WARNING! Never fill the burner
when it is hot. refer to warnings on pages 3 & 4.
take care not to scratch the powder-coat with the lighting rod. the
powder-coat is fragile when the burner is hot.
use only a soft cloth and warm soapy water to clean any product
that has been powder-coated.
Cleaning the Burner
The surface of the Burner will change colour on very hot spots.
In addition, over time a film of black residue will appear on the two
vents of the Burner, usually starting from the mAX line within the
Burner on the slider, and around the burning zone of the Burner top.
remove with care – the black residue is a carbon left over from the
combustion. it stains.
1. When the fire is off and empty, use a vacuum cleaner for general
cleaning on visible surface.
2. Brush/scrape the black material gently from the vents and the
slider towards the bottom inside of the Burner.
3. use a vacuum cleaner to remove residue inside the Burner, around
the slider rails and around the top opening of the burning zone.
4. To finish cleaning use a damp disposable cloth and wipe until no
residue remains.
clean your unit after you have used 50 liters [13.20 gal.] of fuel or as
soon as you notice black deposits on or near the Burner.
Black marks can be removed from the stone, solid surfaces or
stainless steel with a mild abrasive washing product such as Jif®
or similar. It is recommended to test a small area first to ensure the
cleaning product chosen is appropriate and will not mark or damage
the surface.
After extensive use, if your Burner smells unusually strong – when
empty and cold, remove the Burner from its setting and wash the
Burner in hot, soapy water and rinse thoroughly under running water.
Let it dry before replacing in unit.

Cleaning the Firebox
As the stainless steel is exposed to flame and heat for a long period of
time, its colour will eventually change.
to clean:
1. use a disposable damp cloth to wipe the surface that needs cleaning
(go with the grain) using a mild abrasive product such as Jif®. rinse
well with a wet cloth.
2. After cleaning do not light the fire until all surfaces are completely
dry. you can enhance the shine by using a stainless steel cleaner and
polish. Spray it on a disposable cloth and wipe the surface until you
achieve an even shine.
Any stainless steel cleaner and polish leaves a residual film on surfaces.
This film will burn off and appear black when directly exposed to the
flame, so be careful not to apply too much and rinse away thoroughly.
e-NRG Bioethanol is the only fuel to use in this appliance.
