Once the chimney has heated up and is drawing
correctly, adjust the air flow for the glass pane
cleaning system and close the primary Air intake
to favour combustion and to keep the glass pane
clean.
Cleaning glass elements
At the end of every lighting cycle, and according
to the quality of the firewood being used and the
draft of the flue, it could be necessary to clean the
unburned dust present on the glass. Never clean
the glass during fireplace operation, always wait
until it has completely cooled. To open the door
horizontally, pull up the horizontal opening handle.
Carry out the glass cleaning process using a suitable
detergent.
Cleaning of painted surfaces
Never clean the fireplace during fireplace operation,
always wait until it has completely cooled. To clean
painted surfaces use only a smooth cloth slightly
dampened with water.
Cleaning the ash pan
The ash pan tray is located under the grill inside the
combustion chamber. Before removing the ash pan
make sure that the fireplace has completely cooled.
Never remove the ash pan when the fireplace is lit.
To remove the ash pan lift the grid at the centre
of the combustion chamber with the provided
tool. Residues of the combustion can remain very
hot also for a long time after the last use of the
fireplace, therefore empty these residues only in a
metal container.
