Safety warnings for maintenance
Maintenance of the stove must be performed at least once a year and should be planned in advance with the Technical
⚠
Assistance Service.
In some conditions, such as turning the stove on and off or inappropriate use, the combustion products can contain small
soot particles that build up in the smoke evacuation system. This can reduce the cross-section of the smoke duct and pose
⚠
a fire risk. The smoke evacuation system must be inspected and cleaned at least once a year.
The maintenance operations must be carried out when the stove is cold and with the electrical power supply disconnected.
Before completing any maintenance operation, adopt the following precautions:
•
Make sure that the power supply plug is disconnected.
•
Make sure that all stove parts are cold.
•
Make sure that the ashes are completely cold.
•
Always operate with equipment that is appropriate for maintenance.
•
When maintenance is finished, re-install all of the dis-assembled parts before restarting operation.
The quality of the pellet, the stove operating mode and combustion control can affect maintenance activity frequency.
Cleaning
Perform the cleaning operations so as to guarantee correct stove operation.
The table below lists the necessary cleaning operations required for correct stove operation.
PARTS / FREQUENCY
Brazier
Ash drawer
Glass
Scraper
Combustion chamber
Pellet tank
Extraction duct
In the first periods of use, carry out cleaning operations frequently to understand the right frequency of intervention, which
⚠
varies according to the installation, use, pellet used, etc.
For stoves with self-cleaning braziers it is not necessary to clean the brazier and the ash drawer can be cleaned less
frequently.
Brazier cleaning
It is necessary to check that the brazier where combustion takes place is well cleaned and that slag or residues do not obstruct the
holes. This precaution will ensure excellent combustion, avoiding the failed ignition of the stove.
Cleaning must be carried out daily, before each ignition. For a small cleaning, you can leave the brazier in the stove, but if the
residues are difficult to remove, you have to take it out of its housing and scrape the slag.
⚠
The quantity and consistency of the ash residue depends on the quality of the pellets used.
After each maintenance operation, make sure that the brazier is positioned correctly in its seat
Cleaning the ash drawer
The ash drawer must be cleaned every 30 days, (depending on the amount of time the stove is used and what type of pellet is used).
To clean the ash drawer, proceed as follows:
step

In stoves without ash drawer:
