5. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
ATTENTION!
All cleaning of all parts must be carried out with the
structure completely cold and with the plug
disconnected.
The unit does not need much maintenance if used with
certified quality pellets. The necessity for maintenance
increases with use and depending on the performance
requested of it.
5.1. DAILY AND WEEKLY CLEANING
5.1.1. Before each lighting
Clean the grate of ash and any incrustation which could obstruct the
passage of air.
THE HOLES OF THE GRATE MUST ALL BE FREE OF
OBSTRUCTIONS AND INCRUSTATIONS. REMEMBER
THAT ONLY A CLEAN GRATE CAN ENSURE OPTIMAL
PRODUCT OPERATION.
A simple visual check, carried out daily, will reveal
whether the grate is in good working order.
For good cleaning of the grate, pull it completely out of its housing and
thoroughly clean the grate and holes on the bottom. If you use good
quality pellets, you will normally only need to use a paintbrush to
restore the perfect condition of the component. For tough incrustations,
use the steel tool provided with the product.
5.1.2. Cleaning every 2/3 days
Clean and empty the ash drawer, watching out for hot ash.
Only if the ash is completely cold, it is possible to use a vacuum
cleaner to remove it. Use a drum-type vacuum cleaner that is suitable
for picking up particles of a certain size. Also remember to clean the
housing pocket of the grate using an attachment.
Experience, and the quality of the pellets used, will determine the
frequency of cleaning. It is however advisable not to let it exceed
2 or 3 days. When finished, put the ash drawer and grate back in
place. Make sure everything is in the proper position.
5.1.3. Cleaning the glass
When the glass is cold, open the fire door. Spray a small amount of a
special spray detergent (see MCZ accessories) on a soft cloth,
preferably cotton, and clean the glass. Do not spray the product
directly onto the glass. It may drip between the glass and the
steel profiles and damage the silkscreen printing.
ATTENTION!
Do not use alcohol. Do not spray the detergent
directly onto the glass. MCZ will not be held liable for
damage to the silkscreen printing of the glass if these
instructions are disregarded. Do not clean the painted
parts.
