Cleaning The Brazier; Cleaning The Fume Extractor And Combustion Chamber - Ferroli CALLISTO Manuel D'installation

5 STOVE CLEANING
Stove cleaning is very important to ensure correct operation and to prevent: blackening of the glass, poor
combustion, deposits of ash and unburnt products in the brazier, reduced thermal efficiency.
The stove must only operate with the fire door closed.
The fire door seals must be checked periodically to prevent any air from entering; the combustion chamber and
pellet duct work in a negative pressure and the fume exhaust in a positive pressure.
Routine cleaning is normally carried out by the customer following the instructions in the manual, whereas
extraordinary maintenance, at least once a year, must be performed by the authorised Service Centre.
- Cleaning operations for all parts must be carried out with the stove unplugged and cold;
- Dispose of cleaning waste in accordance with the current local regulations;
- The stove must not be operated without its cladding;
- Avoid the creation of smoke and unburnt products during lighting and/or normal operation.
Given below are the control and/or maintenance operations for correct stove use and operation.

Cleaning the brazier

Remove the brazier and the ash deposited in the combustion chamber and brazier holder. A suitable vacuum
cleaner may be used for this purpose. This operation must be carried out daily, especially in case of accumulated
unburnt matter, to ensure perfect combustion conditions, since the brazier holes allow the flow of combustion air.

5.2 Cleaning the ash container
The ash container is located directly under the brazier - brazier holder. To clean it, open the fire door and remove
the ash and any combustion residuals using a suitable vacuum cleaner.
The door must be closed after cleaning. The ash container can be cleaned every 2-3 days depending on stove use.
5.3 Cleaning the glass and air slots
The glass can be cleaned using a damp cloth and specific non-abrasive detergents.
Special slots between the glass, glass stops and fire door at the top and bottom allow air to circulate on the inside
surface of the glass. These slots must be kept clean of any deposits of ash and dust. Therefore periodically clean all
around the the inner side of the glass.
5.4

Cleaning the fume extractor and combustion chamber

The combustion chamber must be cleaned at least once a year, removing all combustion residuals from the internal
baffles and flueways. To do this, remove the cover and the top front panel of the stove. Remove the cast iron
exchanger by undoing the fixing screws then clean the baffles and the chamber.
Also make sure to clean the fume extractor located under the chamber, accessed by removing the inspection port
located on the front lower part of chamber. Every 3-4 months clean the inside walls (insulating-refractory) of the
combustion chamber using suitable equipment (brushes) and replace them if necessary.
Every 1800 hours of operation or 2000 Kg pellet, by means of a message 'SERVICE DUE', the stove signals the
need for extraordinary maintenance (not under warranty) to be performed by qualified personnel who will carry out
complete cleaning and reset the message.
Any knocking or forcing can damage the fume extractor, making it noisy during operation; therefore it is advisable to
have this operation carried out by qualified personnel.
