13 MAINTENANCE
(To be performed by a qualified technical support centre)
13.1 Maintenance
Maintenance operations must be performed by an enabled technical assistance centre.
Before performing any maintenance operation, take the following precautions:
- make sure that all the parts of the stove are cold;
- make sure that the ashes are completely extinguished;
- use the personal protection equipment provided for by Directive 89/391/EEC;
- make sure that the general line switch is turned off;
- make sure that the power supply cannot be accidentally reactivated; remove the plug from the wall socket;
- always use appropriate equipment for maintenance;
- once the maintenance or the repair operations are completed, before re-commissioning the stove, install
again all the protections and restart all the safety devices.
13.1.1 Maintenance of the smoke system
To be performed at least once a year, or every 40 tons of burned pellets.
If there are horizontal sections, it is necessary to check and remove any ash and soot deposits before they
block the passage of the fumes.
In the event of failure or inadequate cleaning, the stove may have functional problems such as:
- bad combustion;
- blackening of the glass;
- blockage of the burn pot with accumulation of ash and pellets;
- deposit of ash and excessive deposits on the exchanger with consequent poor performance.
13.1.2 Stove maintenance
It must be carried out at least once a year, or each time the stove indicates that maintenance is required.
During the maintenance operation, the technician must:
- clean the fume transit area thoroughly and completely;
- check the condition and tightness of all the seals;
- check the condition of all internal components and make sure they are clean;
- make sure the smoke outlet connection is sealed and clean;
- remove any deposits of pellet residues in the tank;
- make sure that the stove is working properly;
- reset any warnings or alarms (the manual reset thermostats are on the rear of the stove near the power
cable).
