7.5 CLEANING ThE FLUE SySTEM

Until you have got reasonably used to the operating conditions of
the stove, we recommend that this maintenance be carried out on a
monthly basis.
Remove the plug from the Tee and clean the pipes.
If necessary, particularly on the first few occasions, we recommend
calling in a qualified technician.

7.6 CLEANING ThE CERAMIC CLAddING

The ceramic cladding must first be cleaned with a soft dry cloth before using any detergent (even mild detergent).
Products are available on the market which are suitable for cleaning ceramics as well as concentrated products for cleaning porcelain. These will
remove oil, ink, coffee and wine stains, etc.

Never soak the ceramic cladding or clean it with cold water when it is still hot as the thermal shock could cause it to crack.
