8.1
Safety Precautions
Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning
operation, take the following precautions:
A) Make sure that all the parts of the stove are cold.
B) Make sure that the embers are completely
extinguished.
C) Use personal protective equipment provided for by
Directive 89/391/EEC.
D) Always use appropriate equipment for maintenance.
E) Once the maintenance or the repair operations are
completed, before re-commissioning the stove,
install again all the protections and restart all the
safety devices.
Maintenance must be performed by a specialist service
centre or by qualified personnel.

Ordinary maintenance for the user
8.2.1
Removal of ash from the fire box
The stove requires simple but frequent and thorough
cleaning in order to always guarantee efficient
performance and regular operation (Fig. 8.2.1).
•
Open the door;
•
remove any embers and ash from the fire box with
a metal scoop;
•
close the door.
8.2.2
Cleaning the ash drawer
The ash drawer positioned under the fire box has to be
emptied every day when the stove is cold. This operation
avoids the drawer to be full of ash, inhibiting in this way
the air passage to the fire box itself.
In order to foster the passage of the ash from the brazier
to the drawer, it is possible to act on the shake-brazier
(A) (Fig. 8.2.2).
•
Open the lower panel;
•
Extract the ash drawer and clean it with a vacuum
cleaner;
•
After cleaning, insert again the ash drawer into its
seat and close the panel.
Before performing this operation, be sure that the stove
has completely cooled down and keep attention to the
possible presence of embers still on in the ash drawer.
Attention: embers still warm may hide in the ash even
after several hours.
