Ash drain and ash pan chamber cleaning
Open the door to find the extractable ash pan under the hearth
(fig. A) in the Roller/Vogue versions, while for the Elle ver-
sion, the ash pan is extracted from the lower part (Fig. B) by
turning a ring nut * (opens to the right, hermetically closes
to the left).
The ash pan must be fully emptied as soon as the pan is
full, as it may cause overheating of the cast iron hearth
grille and block the passage of combustion air.
Frequent emptying of the tray to facilitate a smooth intake
of combustion air is recommended.
It is a good idea to empty while the stove is cold, for exam-
ple every morning before ignition.
At the end of the season, clean the chamber where the
ash pan is housed.
Remove the ash pan and remove the pan support shelf and,
with a suitable tool (*), extract it to allow for cleaning of
all walls (fig. C-DE).
To replace the support shelf, centre the tab in the aperture
located inside the ash pan (photo F-G).
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the smoke channel
Periodically or whenever the soot deposits become exces-
sive, thoroughly clean the smoke channel with a swab.
This permits improved stove function and performance.
Remove the hood, removing the screw (slide off the hood
toward the back of the stove) (fig. H) and remove the two
metal semi-circles* (fig. I), turning them, lifting them and
sliding them downward. To replace them, repeat the ope-
ration in the opposite order.
Cleaning the glass pane
To clean the inside glass surface, we recommend using
GLASSKAMIN available at your retailer.
Do not clean the glass during stove operation or while hot!
NOTE: ceramic glass withstands high temperatures, but it
is fragile, so protect it from accidental blows.
Cleaning the external parts
The ceramic covering must be cleaned with a gentle deter-
gent and damp cloth. Do not use cold water when the stove
is hot since the sudden temperature change could cause
damages.
Cleaning the firebox
Clean the firebox compartment regularly or, in any case,
when soot deposits become excessive. This leads to better
stove operation and efficiency.
Cleaning the flue
This must be done before periods of stove use and every
time you notice a layer of soot and tar (easily flammable
substances) on the inside of the duct. When deposits reach
a thickness of 5 - 6 mm, high temperatures and sparks may
set them on fire with serious consequences for both the
flue and your home.
Therefore, we recommend cleaning the flue at least once a
year.
