12�2 ORDINARY MAINTENANCE AT THE
USER'S PLACE
12�2�1 Cleaning of the combustion chamber's interior
The stove requires simple but frequent cleaning in order
to ensure its efficient operation and regular work.
This cleaning must be performed when the stove is shut
down and cold�
Open the door of the furnace using the handle.
Remove the ash deposited in the furnace (fig. 12.1).
The purpose of this cleaning is to ensure circulation of air
for combustion through the GRATE's holes.
Raise and remove the grate, and clean the surfaces and
interior of the furnace. Reinsert the grate, making sure
that it fits perfectly in its place

The ash pan should be cleaned every week or more
frequently, if necessary.
To gain access to the ash pan, open the ash pan door and
remove the ash pan (fig. 12.2).
Empty the pan into a metal container suitable for
collecting ash, and vacuum ash from the pan's space. Put
the ash pan back in place. Close the door.
