12. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

BASIC INFORMATION

Your stove must be switched off and have cooled down be-
fore carrying out any maintenance activities. See chapter
OPERATION for the appropriate information on shutting down
the stove in the respective operating modes.
NOTE: SERVICE appears in the display after consumption of
700 kg pellets. Cleaning and maintenance is to be performed.
The message can be acknowledged by pressing
at least 2 seconds), and operation may be continued.
CAUTION: Only carry out maintenance when the mains plug of
the stove has been removed from the socket.
The frequency with which your stove must be cleaned as well as the
maintenance intervals depends on the fuel you use. High moisture
contents, ash, dust and chips can more than double the necessary
maintenance intervals. We would like to point out once again that
you should only use tested and recommended wooden pellets as a
fuel.
Wood as a fertiliser
Wood mineral percentages remain in the combustion chamber as
ash. This ash is natural product and is an excellent fertiliser for all
plants in the garden. However the ash should be aged first and
"quenched" with water.
CAUTION: Embers can be hidden in the ash – only fill into
metal containers.

CONTROL HANDLE FRONT DOOR

Your new pellet stove comes with an operating handle that is used
for opening or closing the combustion chamber door.

CLEANING THE FIRE PAN

NOTE: Clean the fire trough daily.
The fire pan should be looked at to ensure that ash or clinker does
not block the air feed openings. The fire pan can easily be cleaned
inside the stove. After removing the pan the area underneath can be
vacuumed clean (see Fig. 4).
If the stove is heated in continuous operation, it must be
switched off twice within 24 hours and the trough must be
cleaned. (Burnback hazard)
Note: only clean when cold, when embers are extinguished! Check
the trough is positioned properly.

be cleaned best with a moist cloth. Stubborn dirt can be removed
with a special cleaner available from your stove dealer.
Attention: Glass cleaner free from corrosive acids and sol-
vents - otherwise there is a risk of damage to the glass sur-
face and/or inscription.

CLEANING THE FLUES

The flue pipes should be cleaned at least 2 x a year or after approx.
700 kg pellets. The flue ducts are located at the sides next to the
combustion chamber (see
