SEASONAL CLEANING
The Dealer will provide you, on the occasion of the fi rst start up, with the stove maintenance book, where the steps for
seasonal cleaning, outlined here below, are listed.
Consists in:
• Clean the boiler internally and externally
• Carefully clean the heat exchange tubes
• Carefully clean and remove dirt from the combustion chamber and the relative compartment
• Clean fans, verify mechanical and clamp loosening
• Clean smoke channel (replace seals on smoke exhaust pipe)
• Clean smoke duct
• Check the expansion tank
• Check and clean the circulator
• Clean smoke extraction fan compartment.
• Clean smoke fl ow sensor.
• Clean smoke check thermocouple.
• Empty the pellet hopper and clean the base with the vacuum cleaner.
• Clean, inspect and scrape any residue from the ignition resistance compartment and if necessary, replace it
• Clean/check the Synoptic Panel
• Visually inspect the electrical wires, connections and power cable
• Check play of the screw-gear motor group
• Clean the pellet hopper and check loosening of the feed screw - gear motor assembly
• Functionality test: load the feed screw, ignite, let it run for 10 minutes and shutdown
If the boiler is used very frequently, it is advisable to clean the smoke channel and the fume duct every 3 months.
Cleaning the smoke channel
• When the boiler is off and cold, move the cleaning handle vigorously (see previous page)
• Remove the ash tray (2 - fi g. F), raise the two inspection hatches of the smoke channel (6 - fi g. G) and vacuum from the two
openings below.
The quantity of residue which forms depends on the type of fuel and the type of system.
If cleaning is not carried out, the boiler may not function properly.
N.B.: after having completed the operation, make sure that the two inspection hatches of the smoke channel are correctly
repositioned.

After normal cleaning, INCORRECT coupling of the upper chamber (A) (fi g. 1) with the lower chamber (B) (fi g. 1) can
compromise boiler functioning.
Therefore, before igniting the boiler, make sure that the chambers are correctly coupled as indicated in (fi g. 2) without any
ash or unburnt fuel on the contact edges.
