5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN STOVE WHILE
HOT.
Clean the surface with a completely dry cotton
cloth. If there is condensation, clean the various
areas when dry.
Inspect the entire unit frequently for proper
operation, fit and soundness of parts. If any
malfunctioning, cracked, broken, or loose parts or
other problems are noted, contact your dealer or
qualified serviceman to inspect and repair the unit.
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT IF INSTALLED
OR FUNCTIONING IMPROPERLY.
Seals
Check the fit and seal of the doors and ashpan
door frequently. For proper operation an airtight
seal must be maintained around these openings.
If the seal is not tight, inspect the gasket. If the
gasket needs replacement, contact your dealer.
Glass
Clean the ceramic glass when cold using
commercial products sold for the purpose or warm
water with a drap of vinegar.
The glass used in your stove is ceramic, which
can only be broken due to a strong blow or a bad
use. Inspect the glass regularly. If it detects that it
is damaged, replace the glass using a new glass
seal kit immediately.
WARNING: Replacement of damaged glass
must be done with original parts supplied by
your dealer. Use of other materials could
cause a safety hazard and void your warranty.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE YOUR STOVE
WITH BROKEN GLASS.
AT THE END OF THE SEASON
At the end of each heating season or more often
if the use of the stove or the fuel make it
necessary, clean the unit the flue outlet and the
chimney.
For cleaning purposes the baffle plates can be
removed without any tools, This gives access to
the cleaning flap of the smoke flue and it is even
possible to reach the flue outlet.
Remove all remaining ash and cinders from the
unit, close all the stove doors. If the room is damp,
possibly place some absorbent crystals inside the
stove and/or disconnect it completely from the
chimney.
ENAMELLED MODELS
The cracking which occurs in the enamel and
which in the trade we call crazing cannot qualify
as a manufacturing defect. This cracking is the
result of a difference in the coefficient of
expansion between the cast iron and the enamel;
it has no detrimental effect on the adhesion of the
enamel.
FAULTY OPERATION
This is mainly due to the chimney not drawing
adequately. Examine the following points:
The chimney section must be adequate (64 sq.
in) and the flue must not be obstructed by
debris or soot.
The flue outlet of the flue connecting pipe is
pushed too far into the chimney.
The connection between the unit and the
chimney is not airtight or the chimney is
permeable (cracks, etc.).
The chimney is too low compared with
surrounding
obstacles,
buildings etc. This may be the cause of too little
drawing or down-draughts.
Note : For maximum output of the appliance
a draught of at least 0.06" water gauge must
be achieved. The flue draught must not
exceed 0. 08 " water gauge.
Excess draught should be avoided under all
circumstances. If it is found that the chimney only
over draws in windy conditions, cowls such as the
Aerocowel (trade name) are very good at
controlling these conditions. If the chimney over
draws in normal operation a draught stabiliser
must be fitted and correctly calibrated.
