MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the smoke duct
• With the stove off and cold, move the cleaning rods energetically (see page 45); loosen the two supplied screws to remove the cera-
mic lower front panel, followed by the cast iron one (Fig. E); open the right and left flues and vacuum out the residues (fig. F).
The amount of residue will depend on the type of fuel and system.
Failure to carry out this cleaning procedure may cause the thermal stove to block.
ONCE THE PROCEDURE IS IMPLEMENTED, ENSURE THAT THE INSPECTION HATCH IS CLOSED PROPERLY.

SEASONAL MAINTENANCE (IMPLEMENTED BY THE DEALER)
The DEALER, upon commissioning, sets the kg value of consumed pellets; after which, the message "Mainten. ??" will appear on the display.
The thermo stove continues operation, but the end client must contact the DEALER to perform necessary seasonal maintenance. The end client
is invited to perform seasonal maintenance regardless of which messages may appear on the display.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the appliance from the mains.
The Dealer will provide you, on the occasion of the first start up, with the stove maintenance book, where the steps for seaso-
nal cleaning, outlined here below, are listed.
• Clean the thermal stove internally and externally
• Carefully clean the heat exchange tubes
• Carefully clean and remove dirt from the combustion chamber and the relative compartment
• Clean the motors, verify mechanical and clam loosening
• Clean smoke channel (replace seals on pipes) and smoke extraction fan chamber
• Check the expansion tank
• Check and clean the circulator
• Check the sensors
• Check and if necessary replace the clock battery on the control board
• 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
• Clean the pellet hopper and check loosening of the feed screw - gear motor assembly
• Check and if necessary replace the door seal
• Functionality test: load the feed screw, ignite, let it run for 10 minutes and shutdown
If maintenance if not implemented, the warranty will be rendered null and void.
If the thermal stove is used very often, it is recommended to clean the smoke channel every 3 months.
ATTENTION !!!
After implementing a normal cleaning procedure, INCORRECT coupling of the upper (A) (figura G) and lower (B) (figura G)
combustion chambers can compromise the stove's performance. Therefore, before igniting the stove, ensure that the combu-
stion chambers are correctly coupled as shown in (figura H).

When maintenance is implemented in the smoke channel, consider UNI 10847/2000 Individual chimney installations for generators
running on liquid and solid fuel. Maintenance and control.
The chimney stacks and smoke ducts to which solid fuel appliances are connected should be cleaned once a year (verify whe-
ther in there are regulations in force in your country regarding this).
In the even that regular checks and cleaning are not performed the probability of a chimney fire increases.
In the event of such an occurrence proceed as follows: do not extinguish with water; empty the pellet storage tank; contact the
Dealer before re-starting after such an incident.
