13.3.3 Cleaning the ash compartment
(
FOR MODELS FITTED WITH ASH COMPARTMENT
The ash compartment should be cleaned every day
or whenever necessary.
Open the firebox door and use a special ash
vacuum cleaner to remove the ash accumulated in
the ash compartment next to the burn pot (Fig.15.6).
13.3.4 Cleaning the glass
This is done using a damp cloth or moistened paper
passed through the ash. Rub until the glass is clean.
Detergents suitable for cleaning kitchen ovens can
also be used. Never clean the glass while the stove
is operating and never use abrasive sponges. Do
not wet the door gasket as this may be damaged.
13.3.5 Cleaning the heat exchange compartment
Twice every season the heat exchange compartment
must be cleaned completely by removing the cast-
iron back plate when cold. To remove the back
plate, after having taken out the cast-iron burn pot,
proceed as follows:
1) lift the cast-iron plate so that it's released from
the special catches at the bottom (some models
have handles to simplify removal, Fig.15.7 A);
2) tilt the bottom of the cast-iron plate towards the
door and remove it completely. (Fig.15.7 A - B);
3) vacuum up any residual ash or soot that may
have accumulated on the wall behind the back
plate (Fig.15.8).
The presence of condensate indicates in ltration
of water, excessive ue gas cooling or the use of
poor quality pellets. The possible cause must be
identi ed so as to restore correct operation of the
appliance
After cleaning, carefully reposition all the parts that
had been removed.
13.3.6 Cleaning the outside of the stove
The outside of the stove must only be cleaned using
a dry, non-abrasive cloth.
Do not use detergents and never clean when the
stove is hot.
