is to be cleaned before every kindling to ensure the proper inflow of air for burning.
The ashtray is to be emptied regularly (Figure 4). Should the equipment be ex-
tremely hot, use the gloves provided. Please, be careful not to dispose glowing
materials into the waste bin.
Ensure that the ashtray should be fully pushed into the equipment.
Warning! In order to keep the air clean and safeguard the fireplace, do not
exceed the specified maximum fuel quantity, otherwise overheating may oc-
cur, which potentially damage the equipment. Such damage is not covered
with any guarantee. Only a single layer of fuel is allowable to be prepared in
the fireplace. Try to reach lower heating performance only by decreasing the
quantity of fuel, and not by cutting the primary air supply.
1.5 Cleaning and maintenance
With proper operation / maintenance and good operation and maintenance in-
crease the stability and longevity of your equipment. You save valuable resources
and protect our environment and your wallet. For cleaning, the baffle plates (Fig. 6)
remove (complete) or shake-up (Figure 7), of which soot liberated. This way, the
flues can be cleaned from the inside or – after removing the flue gas pipe – from
above.
The baffle plates (Fig. 6 +7) are back after cleaning correctly.
Warning!
Following every heating season you are advised to examine the fireplace thor-
oughly. If any repair or reconditioning is needed, please, contact your local dealer
in a timely manner, and specify the model number and serial number of your
equipment (as seen on the model plate). External surfaces may be maintained only
after the fireplace cooled down, and following the first commissioning. Use cold
water for cleaning, or soap, washing ingredient in extraordinary cases, then wipe it
dry. Before its first use, clean the ROBAX inspection glass with a wet and clean
cloth, and then put a few drops of glass–ceramics cleaner onto both sides of the
glass, and spread them with the use of kitchen paper tissues. It provides an invisi-
ble film on the valuable surface of the Robax glass. This film helps to keep the
glass clean, and facilitates regular cleaning operations. ROBAX S for slightly con-
taminated surfaces – a commercially available glass surface cleaning agent – may
as well be used for the cleaning of the medium or strongly contaminated glass sur-
faces of the fireplace. Towards this end, spray small quantities of the agent to the
cold surfaces, spread it, and wash it down with a wet cloth, followed by drying with
a clean, soft cloth. In case there are sticky fuel deposits on these surfaces, first
scale simply them with a ceramic-plate scraper held in flat angle, and then clean
the surfaces as described above.
Cleaning of the ceramic surfaces dirt and grease are to be removed with soap
and water.
Cleaning of the soapstone: the soapstone is a natural stone, therefore minor col-
our differences may occur; as it is normal, they may not serve as a basis for quality
