may cause it to detach. Do not use abrasive or aggressive products or

materials.
Clean with damp cotton or paper towels.

The silicone paints used to paint MCZ products have first-rate

technical properties that make them resistant to very high

temperatures.
There is, however, a physical limit (380°-400°) beyond which

the paint begins to loose its characteristics and fade or (over

450°) vitrify; it may then flake and detach from the steel

surface. If these effects are noticed, it means temperatures

have been reached that are well above those at which the

product should properly operate. Therefore, you should use

the amount of fuel specified in the technical tables.

6.1.6. Cleaning and characteristics of marble and

potstone cladding.

Potstone and marble are natural materials taken from

blocks of stone and then worked. Therefore, veins,

colour variations or other characteristics are natural

parts of the stone and should not be considered

defects.

It is important to clean the cladding carefully and

with the correct products. Cleaning incorrectly may

stain or damage the finish of the stone or marble.

Cleaning these materials is a very important and delicate process. It

must be done using specific products for treating stone/marble.
Carefully follow the instructions on the packages of the special products

used for cleaning. Generally, you should always use water-based

materials and a soft cotton cloth.

6.1.7. Cleaning the chimney flue

Mechanical cleaning of the chimney flue is recommended at least once

a year. Excessive deposits of unburned solid material can cause

problems with the evacuation of smoke, and produces the risk of

chimney fires.

6.2. CLEANING BY SPECIALISED PERSONNEL

CAUTION:
The frequency with which the product is cleaned

should be determined based on the type of use that is

made of the product and the type of installation.
MCZ suggests relying on an authorised service centre

for end-of-season cleaning and maintenance, which

will carry out all of the previously mentioned work

and make a general check of the appliance's

components.
