CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To ensure that you can enjoy your appliance for a long time, regular
maintenance of the appliance is necessary. Please note the following:
•
The appliance should be inspected at least once a year by a qualified
technician. More frequent cleaning may be required depending on the
appliance's actual use.
•
All protective guards that have been removed for maintenance of the
appliance must be replaced before the appliance is operated.
•
Make sure that the external surfaces of the appliance are kept clean and
free from combustible materials.
•
Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive
cleaning agents.
•
When cleaning, make sure that the area around the burner unit always
remains dry. If the gas regulator has come into contact with water in any
way, never attempt to use the appliance. It must be replaced.
•
The recirculation ducts of the burner and the gas bottle container must be
kept clean at all times.
•
The air supply must not be obstructed. Keep the regulator, burner and
recirculation ducts clean. Signs of possible blockage include:
- Smell of gas with extremely yellow flame tip/the appliance glows
excessively unevenly/the appliance makes popping noises;
- Spiders and insects can nest in the burner or in the burner openings.
This can create hazardous conditions that make the appliance
unsafe for operation. Clean the burner openings with a pipe cleaner.
Compressed air can help remove smaller particles.
- Carbon deposits are a fire hazard. Remove carbon deposits with warm
soapy water.
•
Once the burner and lava stones have cooled down completely, remove
them from the fire bowl and remove stains, dirt particles and soil with a
soft brush. Wipe with a soft cloth.
•
Clean the fire bowl and then place the lava stones back in the correct
position.
•
A hoover can be used for thorough cleaning.
Note: In areas with salty air (e.g. near the sea) corrosion occurs more
quickly than usual. Check corroded areas regularly and repair them
immediately. Stubborn stains, discolouration and rust may occur if the
appliance is exposed to extreme conditions. Make sure that no powder or
solvent gets in contact with painted components or plastic parts, as this may
cause damage to the appliance. Some discolouration of the appliance may
occur after prolonged use. This is normal.
