MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

MAINTENANCE

Removing ash

Remove the ash from your fireplace once the level reaches about 2 cm below the lower

side of the door's frame.

Push the pieces of log and coal towards the back part of the fire box.

Using a small steel shovel, remove the ash and put it into the ash tray. Placing sand in

the bottom of the ash tray will reduce the risk of fire. Take the ash out of the house and

put it in a safe place. Remember that live coals can burn for up to 36 hours. Untreated

wood ash is an excellent fertilizer for your garden.

Leave at least a 2.5 cm layer of ash as protection for the fire box bottom.

Glass

When the fireplace is cold, clean any stain that may appear on the glass with a damp

cloth. Avoid using any abrasive material that could scratch it.

CREOSOTE FORMATION

AND THE NEED TO CLEAN THE FLUE

Firewood combustion produces acetic and pyro-wood acid, which when combined

with humidity, produces creosote. This can settle on the lower walls of the main

flue pipes, causing the following problem: Combustion chamber and the flue pipes

become blocked, causing the fireplace to malfunction. Under these circumstances, the

ignition will be slow, making it difficult to achieve effective combustion.

In this instance,

clean according to instructions in section "Cleaning Your

Wood-burning Fireplace".

PROBLEM SOLVING

Cause of Smoking Fireplace

Wet firewood

Blocked flue

Down draft

When opening the door to reload the fireplace, smoke may come out from the

damper while others have a Mineral Bioecocaloric ® damper. The damper can be easily

fitted and removed, enabling one to clean with ease or replace in the event that it wears

down. The damper must be fitted in the correct position prior to using the fireplace, as
