Servicing And Care; Cleaning The Chimney; Cleaning The Glass; Cleaning The Ash - Bronpi HYDRO Série Instructions D'installation, D'utilisation Et D'entretien

10. SERVICING AND CARE

The thermo-stoves, the chimney and, in general, the whole installation, must be cleaned completely at least once a year or when
necessary.
WARNING!! Maintenance and servicing operations must be done when the insert is cold.
10.1.

CLEANING THE CHIMNEY

When the wood is burnt slowly, it produces tars and other organic vapours that combined with the humidity they create the creosote (soot).
An excessive accumulation of soot may cause problems in the smoke outlet and even the smoke duct may suffer a fire. A chimney sweep
should perform this task and, at the same time, examine the smoke duct. During the cleaning tasks, it is necessary to remove the ash pan,
the grille and the smoke baffle plate in order to makes easier the fall of the soot.
It is recommended to use anti-soot envelopes during the operation of the insert at least once a week. These envelopes are placed directly on
the fire and you can buy them in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your thermo-stoves.
10.2.

CLEANING THE GLASS

IMPORTANT:
Clean the glass only when it is cold in order to avoid that it explodes.
You can use specific products such as vitro ceramic-cleaning products. Do not use aggressive or abrasive products that stain the
glass.
You can find Bronpi vitro ceramic-cleaning product in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your fireplaces.
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.
10.3.

CLEANING THE ASH

All thermo-stoves have an ash pan for the ash collection.
We recommend emptying the ash pan regularly in order to avoid that it is full completely so that the grille does not overheat. Moreover, we
recommend leaving 2-3 cm of ash on the base.
10.4.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

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

11. SEASONAL STOPPAGES

After cleaning the chimney and the insert by removing the ash and other residues, close all doors and regulators.
It is recommended to clean the chimney at least once a year. Meanwhile, check the joints because if they are not in good condition (they do
not adjust to the door), they do not guarantee the proper operation of the thermo-stove. For this reason, it would be necessary to change
them. You can find this spare part in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your fireplace.
If there is humidity in the place where the thermo-stove is installed, put absorbent salts inside the equipment. Protect the internal parts with
neutral vaseline in order to keep the appearance along the time.

12. HYDRAULIC KITS (OPTIONALS)

To complete this product range and to guarantee a perfect performance there are some pre-assembled kits which are connected to the
thermo-stove simply by connecting the pipes of the hydraulic system. All the information you need about the installation and performance is
detailed in the manual provided with each kit.
• KIT-1. (see drawing D12.1). Module to manage a wood-burning boiler, for hot water production destined to domestic heating and
sanitary hot water (SHW).
SHW production is a priority and it works automatically by a flow detector.
Operation:
The diverter valve carries out the recirculation of the primary water in the plates exchanger when the flow switch detects a need of SHW.
