8. SERVICING AND CARE

The maintenance operations guarantee a proper working of the product over its lifetime. Not making these maintenance
operations will affect the security of the product.
8.1

BURNER CLEANING

The burner cleaning must be made daily.
• Remove the burner from its place and clean the holes.
• Use a vacuum to get rid of the ashes in the burner. You can buy a vacuum-cleaner in the same Boreal distributor
where you bought your stove.
8.2

CLEANING THE ASH PAN

The ash pan should be emptied when necessary. The stove should not be operated without having the ash pan inside.
8.3

SEALS OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND GLASS FIBRE

The cleaning of the stove chimney should only be made when the equipment is cold. A chimney sweep should perform this task and, at the same time,
examine the smoke duct (it is recommended to write down the dates of every cleaning and keep a register of them).
8.5

CLEANING THE GLASS

IMPORTANT:
Clean the glass only when it is cold in order to avoid possible explosion. You can use specific products. You can find vitro ceramic-cleaning product at
the same Boreal distributor where you bought your stove.
BREAKAGE OF GLASSES. The glasses, as they are vitro ceramic, resist until 750ºC and they are not subject to thermal shocks. The breakage can only
be caused by mechanical shocks (crashes or violent closing of the door, etc). Therefore, its replacement is not included in the warranty.
8.6

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Do not clean the external surface of the stove with water or abrasive products because they may damage the stove. Use a feather duster or a rag a bit
wet.
8.7

CLEANING THE REGISTERS

To keep the validity of the warranty it is mandatory to do the register cleaning by an
technician authorised by Boreal, who will write down the statement made.
It involves cleaning the ashes register of your stove such as smoke zones.
First of all you must clean the whole inside of the combustion chamber. Then, brush the surfaces
with a wire brush to clean the dirtiness.
In the Boreal-6 model it is also necessary to clean the heat exchangers because the soot
accumulates in the upper part and makes the right smoke flowing difficult. In order to have access
to this area you should remove the ceiling of the stove and follow the next steps:
- Remove the register cap by loosening both screws
- Clean the soot, placed in the upper part.
- Put again in its place each piece and confirm the airtight of the register.
Note: Boreal-9 and Boreal-12 models lack upper cleaning register.
The seals guarantee stove hermetic nature and, thus, a proper performance.
It is necessary to check them regularly; if they are worn-out or damaged they should be
replaced immediately. You can find ceramic cord and self-adhesive fibre at the same
Boreal distributor where you bought your stove.
These operations should be done exclusively by an authorised technician.
An authorised technician must do the maintenance at least once a year.
8.4

CLEANING THE CHIMNEY

When the pellet is burnt slowly, it produces tar deposits and other organic vapours that combined with the humidity to
create soot (creosote). An excessive accumulation of soot may cause problems in the smoke outlet and the flue may
catch fire if not maintained.
