5 - CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Your heater is a device that is subjected to extreme
temperatures and to the corrosive effects of
combustion residual
maintenance is essential for a longer life and
improved user experience.
We recommend performing
inspections frequently.
DURING THE SEASON
• Perform a visual inspection of the chimney.
Clean soot and tar if they have begun to
accumulate on the inner walls of the heater.
• Check whether the doors close tightly; adjust if
necessary.
AT THE END OF THE SEASON
• Inspect and clean the chimney.
• Use the vacuum cleaner to clean inside the
heater and inspect it.
• Any soot and tar (creosote) that has
accumulated on the walls of the heater will
hinder performance.
• Inspect door seals. These should be replaced
when they no longer seal the door perfectly.
• In the case of painted heaters, paint the cast
iron parts again if necessary. Use heat resistant
paint for this task.
CLEANING
Cleaning should always be performed when the
heater is cold.
Cleaning ash.
These heaters are equipped with an ash pan located
at the bottom of the heater. (Fig. 4)
Remove the ash pan and remove the ash.
Ash should be emptied into a metal container and
immediately removed from the house.
If necessary clean the ash pan housing.

Cleaning
Fireplace window cleaning liquids are quite
effective products.
Never try to clean the glass while the fireplace is
working.
We recommend using HERGOM window cleaning
products for their proven efficacy.
If the glass pane on the fireplace door is constantly
covered in soot, this means your fire is "poor" and
that the connecting pipe and chimney are being
blocked by soot and creosote.
Replacing.
The glass panes in your heater have been especially
manufactured for log stoves.
If they should break, they must be replaced by
another glass pane with the same technical
specifications. Contact our Distributor to provide
you with the appropriate glass pane, together with
instructions to assemble and seal.
