5.2 General
Warning
Switch off the power supply before
carrying out any repairs!
When the heater is stored long-term:
1. Switch off the heater.
2. Disconnect the power plug.
3. Clean the heater.
4. Use an oily cloth to clean the combustion
chamber, to protect the combustion chamber
against corrosion.
Warning
Do not operate the heater in hot weather
to burn oil.
5.3 Cleaning the combustion chamber
(Fig. 4)
1. Open the cover of the heater, see fig. 4 (A).
2. Remove the burner ring (D) with the hook of
the shovel (J).
3. Clean the burner ring with a steel brush.
4. Remove the burner dish (F) with the hook of
the shovel.
5. Clean the burner dish with a scraper.
6. Clean the inner side of the combustion
chamber (B) and the vaporiser (G) with the
front of the shovel.
Note
• Biodiesel or vegetable oil can
contain heavy metallic compounds
and foreign materials. These
materials stay as a residu when
burned. Therefore it is necessary to
take care when using, cleaning and
maintaining the heater.
• Wear protective gear when cleaning
the inside of the heater:
• Respirator for fine particles
• Rubber gloves
• Safety goggles
• Protective clothing
• Ensure that the holes in the
combustion chamber wall remain
open for combustion air supply.
7. Remove any soot pieces from the floor of the
combustion chamber.
8. Clean the inside of the pipe in the vaporiser
with a small brush (diameter 4 mm).
