Cold air intakes (convection and combustion).
Clean the air inlet of the dust and ash residues that can accumulate with a cleaning brush and a vacuum
cleaner.
8.4.
Flue baffle (Eco and Eco Glass).
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the soot accumulated on the baffle plate. At the end of the season or if poor
combustion is detected, you must remove the baffle plate, and clean it more thoroughly. To do so, the side
insulation and the baffle plate support must be removed, as shown in Figure 27.

Grate and combustion chamber.
Pile the embers on one side of the combustion chamber; they will be reused to light the fire. Leave 1-2 cm of
ash on the grate of the combustion chamber, as it helps keep the coals in place and protects the grate. When
they are thicker than 2 cm, remove them with a shovel and place them in a metal container or filter some of
the ashes through the grate, letting them cool in the ash box. Remember that burning embers can last for
hours. To maintain this amount of ash on the grid, it is not necessary to clean it daily.
When the season ends, thoroughly clean the grate and combustion chamber, using a brush and vacuum
cleaner.
8.6.
Flue.
The frequency with which you perform this maintenance will depend how much you use the stove and the
characteristics of the fuel used.
It is recommended that the flue be maintained by a qualified professional.
To mechanically clean the flue outlet in an Eco / Eco Glass model stove, it is necessary to remove the baffle
from the combustion chamber, as shown in Figure 27. Thus, access is provided to flue pipe.
After long periods of inactivity, check for obstructions in the flue before lighting the stove.
