7.5 CLEANING THE FLUE SYSTEM
Fig. 72
Soot and Flyash: formation and need for removal.
The products of combustion will contain small particles of yash. The
yash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the ow of
the ue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup,
shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some
soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The
exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every two
months during the heating season to determine if cleaning is necessary.
Until you have got reasonably used to the operating conditions of
the stove, we recommend that this maintenance be carried out on a
monthly basis.
Remove the plug from the Tee and clean the pipes.
Do not use a metal trush to clean this vent. Such a brush may scratch
the vent liner and promote corrosion. Do not use chemical cleaners in
this vent system. They do not eliminate need for manual cleaning and
may be corrosive to vent materials.
If necessary, particularly on the rst few occasions, we recommend
calling in a qualied technician.

7.6 CLEANING THE CERAMIC CLADDING
The ceramic cladding must rst be cleaned with a soft dry cloth before using any detergent (even mild detergent).
Products are available on the market which are suitable for cleaning ceramics as well as concentrated products for cleaning porcelain. These will
remove oil, ink, coffee and wine stains, etc.
d Never soak the ceramic cladding or clean it with cold water when it is still hot as the thermal shock could cause it to crack.

7.7 CLEANING THE ENAMELLED METAL PARTS
DT2010062-05
7.8 CLEANING THE GLASS (DAILY)
When cleaning the enamelled metal parts of the product use a soft cloth moistened with water
d Never clean metallic parts using alcohol, solvents, petroleum-based products, acetones or other degreasing or abrasive substances.
In the event of such substances being used, the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage caused.
Discolouration of metallic parts may be the result of misuse.
a The glass should be cleaned when cold using ammonia-based degreasing agents and not corrosive substances such as solvents.
Although it is likely that tar will build up on the glass during the lighting stage, it will burn off with the stove in full operation.
If, however, the tar is left to build up over a long period it will require more effort to remove.
We therefore recommend that the glass be cleaned daily before lighting the stove.
d Do not use any material that could scratch or spoil the glass, as scratches may develop into cracks or breaks.
