INTRODUCTION
For a long working life of the stove, have a periodic cleaning of the stove as described in the following paragrafs.
• Fume outlet pipes (fume conduit + chimney flue + chimney pot) must always be cleaned, scrubbed and
checked by an authorized technician in compliance with local regulations, with the instructions of the
manufacturer and those of your insurance company.
• If there are no local regulations and no instruction from your insurance company, it is necessary to have your
fume pipe, chimney flue and chimney pot cleaned at least once a year.
• It is also necessary to have the combustion chamber, motors and fans cleaned and to have the gaskets and
the electronical elements (if there are) checked at least once a year.
• After a long ineffective time, before turning on the stove check if there are obstructions in the fume exhaust.
• If the stove had been using continuously and intensely, the whole system (chimney included), must be
cleaned and checked more frequently.
• In case of replacement of damaged pieces please ask for the original spare part at the Autorized Retailer.
12.2
BURNING POT AND ASH TRAY CLEANING
For a good combustion, before of every stove ignition, remove the ash which has settled in the burning pot. The
abundant ash obstructes the primary air flow which is fundamental for a good combustion.
• Remove ash from the burning pot by shaking it to let it fall in the ash tray.
• If full, the sah tray must be empty.
• Ash must be kept in a metal container with sealed cap, the same container must not ever be in contact with
flammable materials (for example lent over a wooden floor), as ash inside keeps embers glowing for a long
time.
• Only when the ash is completely extinguished can be throuwn in the organic waste.
• Clean the ash also in the ash compartment.
12.3
FUME PIPES ANNUAL CLEANING
Clean once a week from soot with brushes.
The cleaning operation must be executed by a specialized stove-repairer who will provide for the cleaning of
fume pipe, chimney flue and chimney pot. He will also check their eficiency and will release a written declaration
of the safety of the appliance. This operation must be executed at least once a year.
12.4
GENERAL CLEANING
For cleaning external and inner parts of the stove do not use steel wools, muriatic acid or other corrosive and
abrasive materials.

All these operations must be planned in time with your Autorized Technical Assistance
Service.
