In the bottom part of the oven you should find a register where the soot is located, for its proper
cleaning you shoud take it apart following the next steps (see drawing D18):
•
Lossen both screws from the lid of the register
•
Clean the area with the rack provided
•
Put the lid again by tightening the screws, be sure that the register remains hermetic by
checking the ceramic rope.
These procedures must be carried out at least 2-3 times a year (depending on use)
11. SEASONAL STOPPAGES
After cleaning the chimney and the kitchen by removing the ash and other residues, close all doors
and regulators.
It is recommended to clean the chimney at least once a year. Meanwhile, check the joints because if they are not in good condition (they do
not adjust to the door), they do not guarantee the proper operation of the kitchen! For this reason, it would be necessary to change them. You
can find this spare part in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your kitchen.
If there is humidity in the place where the kitchen is installed, put absorbent salts inside the equipment. Protect the internal parts with neutral
vaseline in order to keep the appearance along the time.
