5. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
ATTENTION!
All cleaning of all parts must be carried out with the
stove completely cold and unplugged.
The stove does not need much maintenance if used with
certified quality pellets.
5.1. DAILY OR WEEKLY CLEANING PERFORMED BY
THE USER
5.1.1. BEFORE EACH IGNITION
Clean the ash "F" and any deposits in the brazier that could clog the
air passage holes.
In case of pellets running out in the tank or of a failed ignition alarm
(A01), there could be unburnt pellets in the brazier. Always empty the
residue in the brazier before each ignition.
REMEMBER THAT ONLY A CORRECTLY POSITIONED
AND CLEAN BRAZIER CAN GUARANTEE IGNITION
AND OPTIMAL OPERATION OF YOUR PELLET
PRODUCT.
IF IGNITION FAILS (A01), IT IS IMPORTANT TO
REMOVE THE PELLETS LEFT IN THE BRAZIER BEFORE
REPEATING THE IGNITION OPERATION.
For the brazier to be cleaned properly, remove it from its housing
completely and thoroughly clean all the holes and the grate on the
bottom. If good quality pellets are used, you will normally only need to
use a brush to restore the optimal operating conditions of the
component.
5.1.2. Check every 2/3 days
The frequency of cleaning depends on the type of
installation/connection to the flue pipe (e.g. more frequent with
horizontal connection, less frequent with vertical connection), on the
number of working hours, level of power and type of fuel used.
Clean and empty the ash tray "G" being careful with hot ash.
The ash must be completely cold for a vacuum cleaner to be used
to remove it. Only use models suited to sucking ashes.
We recommend emptying the ashpan at intervals of no more
than 2 or 3 days.
Once the operation is finished, reinsert the ashpan below the grate
making sure it is inserted properly.
