Cleaning The Insert - Unico Dragon Series User Manual

The Dragon inserts are equipped with the so-called
afterburning system. Special channels (permanently
open, not adjustable, except for the use of a controller
with an automatic air damper) supply air to the slats in the
corners of the rear wall. This enables the combustion of
unburned gas residues, thus improving both the efficiency
of the insert and the cleanliness of combustion.
Air supply regulation
•
Position 1 - max. to the left - the air is directed to the
firebox floor and the door - the most intense burning.
Position 2 - in the middle - the air is directed only above
the glass - reduced power. Recommended position for
the insert.
•
Position 3 - max. to the right - the primary air is
completely shut off - operation in support when the wood
is burnt and only embers remain.
Note: the glass easily gets dirty in this
position.
The air opening direction is indicated by the symbol on the
bar as shown in the diagram below

5.5. Cleaning the insert

Systematic cleaning and maintenance of the fireplace insert
is required for its safe and proper operation, and also affects
its aesthetic appearance.
How to clean the insert:
•
remove excess ash from the firebox chamber
•
clean the walls and shelves in the upper part of the
firebox chamber from soot and other impurities
•
clean the glass
Cleaning should be carried out only with the fire put out and
the firebox cool, using protective gloves.
Ash should be removed with a scoop and thrown into
a metal container with a lid or collected using a
fireplace vacuum cleaner.
Wall surfaces inside the combustion chamber should be
cleaned using a soft brush, and if there is soot - a spatula.
The fireplace glass should be cleaned with a special Unico
sponge - the material that the sponge is made from can
remove the most stubborn soot dirt. It can be ordered at:

NOTE:
Using chemicals that can run down the gasket significantly
shortens its life (due to built up scale) and can lead to
damage (cracking) of the fireplace glass.
