PLEASE CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS FOR A CLEANING! NOT FOLLOWING
THEM MAY BRING ABOUT PROBLEMS RELATED TO STOVE OPERATION.
Brazier cleaning to be completed before each switch-on
It is necessary to check that the brazier where combustion takes place is well cleaned and that waste or residue does not obstruct the
holes. This will guarantee optimal combustion in the stove over time, avoiding any overheating that may cause paint to change colour, the
door to peel, or switch-on to fail.
Only a clean and precise brazier can guarantee that the thermo-stove operates optimally. During operation it is possible that deposits may
form that must be eliminated.
It is possible to recognise when the brazier needs to be cleaned! Just take a look: cleaning must be done daily, before each switch-on.
For light cleaning, it is possible to leave the brazier in the stove, but if residues are difficult to remove, it is necessary to remove it from its
seat and scrape the residue.
The ash quantity and consistency depend on the quality of the pellets used.
Caution: between different bags of pellet, despite being of the same brand there may be differences. These may in fact generate different
combustion conditions and therefore result in different quantities of residue.
Correct daily cleaning will allow the stove to burn in an optimal manner and have a good yield, avoiding malfunctioning that over time would
require intervention on the part of a technician to restore the machine.
Cleaning operations depend on the quality of pellets used and the frequency of use of the thermo-stove. You may need to
perform these operations daily.
Glass cleaning
The glass door must be cleaned with a cold thermo-stove, using a cotton rag or kitchen paper towel. Use a specific product for cleaning
pellet stove glass that can be purchased in specialised stores. Glass cleaning must take place after delicately vacuuming all ashes from
the interstices of the door and the gasket.
We recommend not exceeding in the quantity sprayed, carefully avoiding spraying directly on gaskets.
DO NOT START THE THERMO-STOVE IF THE GLASS IS DAMAGED.
CONTACT TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO REPLACE IT.
Manual operation of turbulators
Once every 2/3 days, or more frequently if required by the type of pellets used, operate the turbulators to steadily ensure the smoke
exchanger efficiency. Using the two rods, shake strongly, without exaggerating, to drop ash and grime built up during normal combustion.
