FIRST USE
The first fi re always causes a burning smell which disappears permanently after a few hours of use.
After the first use, it is ok the clean the glass pane with a soft cloth and standard glass pane cleaning product.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Always allow the appliance to cool before cleaning it. It is not recommended to use a cloth to clean an
appliance that has a paint or graphite fi nish as the abrasion can cause marks that are diffi cult to remove. To
clean a painted appliance, use a stiff brush. For tough marks, it is better to touch up the paint with a paint
designed for stoves (NESTOR MARTIN high temperature gloss paint) than to try to clean them. In the event
of condensation, wipe the drops before they dry.
To clean an enamelled appliance, use a damp cloth or product suitable for use with enamel fi nished.
However, an over-zealous cleaning, even with a suitable product, can damage the fi nish of the appliance. All
traces of the cleaning products must be removed before relighting the stove, as they can cause marks when
the appliance becomes hot.
MANUALLY CLEANING THE Glass pane
Always allow the appliance to cool before cleaning the glass pane. The ceramic glass pane of the appliance
is specially made to withstand high temperatures, and certain cleaning products contain chemical products
which can weaken or mark the glass pane.
Some newspaper dampened with water and a few drops of vinegar is enough to remove the majority of
marks. For tougher marks, gently rub them with a scourer of fi ne steel wool, lubricated with a little dish soap.
However, be careful not to rub too hard so to avoid damaging the ceramic glass pane. If manual cleaning is
necessary too often, you are advised to review the installation and operating method to determine if there is a
better combustion possible.
AIRTIGHTNESS
Frequently check that the doors and ashtray are airtight. To ensure proper functioning of this appliance, the
openings must be airtight. If they are not, inspect the joints. If a joint must be replaced, contact your
distributor.
SUMMER BREAK
At the end of each heating season (i.e. summer months), your entire appliance must be completely cleaned
and the chimney inspected by a qualifi ed technician.
Remove all the residual ashes from the appliance.
Leave one of the air supply controllers open to allow rainwater that may enter the chimney to evaporate.
For added protection, you can place absorbing crystals in the stove or cover the interior with a light
dehumidifying spray such as WD40.
Apply lubricating oil to the latch handles and other movable parts.
