6-MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL AND SATIN-FINISHED SURFACES

These surfaces do not usually require any specific treatment besides not being cleaned with abrasive materials. It is recommended to clean

stainless steel and satin-finished surfaces with a paper towel or a dry, clean cloth soaked in nonionic surfactant-based detergent (<5%);

a spray cleaner for glass and mirrors can also be used.

CLEANING PAINTED PARTS

Avoid cleaning the painted parts with damp cloths when the product is on or hot so as to prevent thermal shock of the paint and its

consequent detachment. Do not use abrasive or aggressive materials or products. Clean with a paper towel or damp cotton cloth.

The silicone paints used to coat the products have top quality technical properties that allow for resistance to very

high temperatures.

However, there is a physical limit (380°- 400°) beyond which the paint loses its characteristics and begins to “whiten”

or “vitrifies” (over 450°) and can flake and peel off the steel surface. If this occurs, temperatures well above those

at which the product should operate have been reached. It is therefore recommended to use the amount of fuel

specified in the technical tables.

CLEANING THE CHIMNEY

Mechanical cleaning of the chimney is mandatory at least once a year; excessive unburned waste can cause problems when the smoke is

expelled and start a fire in the flue itself.

CLEANING TO BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL

ATTENTION:

the frequency with which the product is to be cleaned is based on its use and the type of installation. The company

recommends contacting an authorised service centre for end-of-season maintenance and cleaning to be performed

on the entire flue system as the above-mentioned operations will also be performed together with a general

inspection of the product.

EMERGENCY

If for any reason the fire in the combustion chamber must be put out suddenly and quickly or a fire has ignited in the chimney, act as

follows:

• Time permitting, remove the embers and ashes using a metal container.

• Request immediate help from the relative organisations.
