Maintenance and cleaning of the stove
Before effecting any maintenance operation
or cleaning on the stove, take the following
precautions:
• be sure that all parts of the stove are cold.
• be sure that the ashes are completely cold.
• be sure that the general switch is in the "OFF"
position.
• be sure that the plug is pulled out of the socket
to avoid accidental contact.
• once the maintenance phase is completed
check that everything is in order as per before the
intervention (the brazier is placed correctly).
Follow carefully
cleaning instructions. Failure to
follow these
create problems with the operation
of the stove.
Cleaning the brazier and brazier support
When the fl ame assumes a red colour or seems
weak, and is accompanied by black smoke, this
means that there are ash deposits or incrustations
that do not permit the correct functioning of the
stove and that must be removed. Remove the
brazier every day by simply raising it from its slot;
then clean out the ashes and eventual incrustations
that may have formed, paying particular attention
to liberating the holes by using a pointed tool (not
included with the stove).
This operation is made particularly necessary before
every lighting the fi rst several times and above all
if using pellets that differ from those supplied by
our company. The frequency of this operation is
determined by how frequently the stove is used
and the choice of pellets.
It is also a good idea to check the brazier support,
vacuuming the eventual ash present.
Cleaning daily
via scraper
With the stove shut down
and chill, activate 5-6
times the scraper in the
heat exchange ducts by
pushing and pulling the
lever, located
over the door of the stove.

the following
instructions could
Ash box
Open the door and
extract the ash box. Use
a vacuum to remove all
the ash deposited within.
This operation must be
performed more or less
frequently depending on
the quality of the pellets
used.
Cleaning the glass
The glass is a self cleaning type, therefore, while
the stove is working, a veil of air is blown across its
surface to remove ash and dirt; nevertheless over
a period of several hours, a greyish patina tends
to form which should be cleaned when the stove
is next shut down. How dirty the glass becomes
also depends on the quality and quantity of pellets
used.
Cleaning the glass should be done when the stove
is cold with products recommended and tested by
our company.
When performing this operation, always check
that the grey seal around the glass is in a good
state; failure to check the effi ciency of this gasket
can compromise the function of the stove.
Poor quality pellets can, in any case, cause the
glass to become dirty.
If the glass is broken, do not attempt
to light the stove.
Cleaning the surfaces
To clean the surfaces, use a rag dampened with
water or with water and a neutral detergent.
The use of aggressive detergents or
thinners can damage the surfaces of
the stove. Before using any deter-
gent it is advisable to try it on a small sec-
tion out of sight or contact the Authorized
Assistance Centre for information regard-
ing the product.
Cleaning the metal parts
To clean the metal parts of the stove, use a soft
cloth dampened with water. Never clean the metal
parts with alcohol, thinners, petrol, acetone or
other degreasing substances. If such substances
are used, our company declines any responsibility.
Eventual variations in the colour of the metal parts
can be caused by an incorrect use of the stove.
