4. MAINTENANCE

To clean the glass, be careful to spray the cleaning product on a cloth and clean only the glass, without
wetting the rest of the door. Window-cleaners and special products often contain chemicals that attack the
paint and the ceramic fiber seals and cause oxidation of the metal parts.
It is very important not to wet the woodburner with window-cleaner, water or special cleaning products.
Heatproof paint is not waterproof.
Clean the paintwork with a feather duster or a soft, dry cloth. If over time you want to repaint the insert,
the manufacturer makes a spray paint available from your dealer.

5. TIPS AND SAFETY STANDARDS


You should check the chimney regularly and keep it clean and in good condition. Creosote build-up in
the chimney could cause it to catch fire.

After a prolonged period of not using the device, the chimney should be checked to make sure it is
not blocked.

In case of chimney fire, immediately close the air inlets and use an extinguisher or call the fire
department.

The stove will become very hot when you light it. Don't touch the stove without protection during
firing and for two hours after.

Warn children of the danger of burns.

Children or the infirm are not allowed to use the stove.

Only retire the ashes when the stove is not working, and deposit them in a metallic container, there
might be burning embers among the ashes.

Do not modify the appliance without authorisation and use only original spare parts.

There should be adequate supply of air to the space where the stove is installed, both for combustion
and convection air. The air grates should never be blocked.

Except in the case of a chimney fire, don't smother the fire suddenly with water, but let it burn out,
consuming the wood load.

The appliance must be installed on floors with sufficient bearing capacity.

Observe the minimum safety distances from nearby combustible materials. In front of the appliance:
minimum 1.6 m.

On days with adverse draught conditions (very low atmospheric pressure, heavy frosts), or when the
flue is very cold, or in chimneys with a poor draught, you can help the draught to start before lighting
the fire by heating the flue:
1. Prepare the wood for lighting inside the woodburner.
2. Place a firelighter or a sheet of newspaper on the deflector at the start of the flue and set fire to it.
3. After a few seconds, when the chimney draught starts, light the wood as instructed.
