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.
5.5 Cleaning the air flow meter
The air flow meter (it measures the flow of combustion air) installed inside the inlet pipe requires periodical internal
cleaning every 3-4 months, using suitable equipment (blowing compressed air or suitable brushes).
5.6 Cleaning the ceramic surfaces
The ceramic tiles are handicraft products and therefore may have minor surface imperfections such as tiny spots or
slight colour differences. It is advisable to use a soft dry cloth to clean the ceramic surfaces; the use of detergents
could highlight any flaws.
5.7 Cleaning the flue - flue connection
The flue connection must be cleaned at least once a year or whenever necessary.
Cleaning requires the suction and removal of the residuals in all the vertical and horizontal sections as well as the
bends from the stove to the flue.
It is advisable to also clean the flue every year, to ensure correct and safe evacuation of fumes.
5.8 Cleaning the exchangers with turbulator-shaker device
The fume ducts inside the heating chamber must be cleaned at
least once a day by operating the two knobs repeatedly with an
upward and downward movement.
Carry out this operation with the stove off and cold.

5.9 Magnesium anode boiler
Hot water tank cleaning (to be carried out every 2-3 years, depending on water aggressiveness)
• Remove the front panel of the hot water tank.
• Close the hot water tank on-off valves and open the drain cock.
• After draining, remove the inspection flange and carry out cleaning. Use specific products available on the market.
Do not use metal tools to remove the scale.
• After cleaning, refit the inspection flange and hot water tank front panel and open the on-off valves.
Magnesium anode
The degree of deterioration of the magnesium anode can be checked directly from the outside by unscrewing it from
the hot water tank flange (after turning off the domestic hot water supply and draining the hot water tank).
This check is advisable at least once a year.
• Check the magnesium anode and replace it if necessary.
If the water is very hard, above 20 degrees French, install a water softener in the system.
BIf water softeners are installed at the boiler cold water inlet, make sure not to
reduce the water hardness too much, as this could cause early deterioration of
the magnesium anode in the hot water tank.
