MAINTENANCE
Gaskets and vermiculite panels are parts which need to be replaced
from time to time – depending on how much you use your stove. In some
cases, you may need to replace them every year, while in others,
replacement every second or third year will suffice. As a rule of
thumb, gaskets need to be replaced when it has become flattened and
the door no longer fits tightly against the front of the stove. You
can purchase gaskets – with adhesive – from your local dealer.
The vermiculite panels must be replaced when they have worn thin, or
when cracks – if any – become so wide that you can actually see steel
through them. If the panels are not replaced at such time, they will
lose their capacity to insulate and reflect heat.
Use only authentic spare parts!
Movable and mechanical parts (closing mechanisms, hinges etc) should
be greased once a year with a heat-resistant lubricant.

there is a fastening that must be loosened so that each fitting
can be turned away from the glass panel.
3. Repeat this procedure for all the fittings and remove the glass
panel.
