7�2 REGULAR MAINTENANCE
PERFORMED BY THE USER
The insert requires simple but frequent cleaning in order
to ensure its efficient operation and regular work.

down and cold�

To open the door, use the opening lever with the attached
cold handle (fig. 7.1).

interior of the furnace (fig. 7.3).
Reinsert the grate, making sure that it fits perfectly in its
place�

which it is found, together with the igniter (fig. 7.4).
