Maintenance and cleaning for all models
Cleaning the steel flame-shell
Every 2-3 days it is important to remove the steel
flame-shell in order to clean it and remove the dirty
that may fall during the cleaning of the exchange
pipes.
Shutting the Boiler down
In the period when the Boiler is out of use it must be
disconnected from the electricity mains. For greater
safety, especially if there are children around, we
recommend removing the power cable from the
rear of the Boiler.
Before placing the Boiler in storage, you should
remove all pellets from the hopper with a vacuum
cleaner with a long extension. If the fuel is left in
the hopper, it may get damp, stick together, and be
difficult to light at the beginning of the next season.
If pressing the main switch (located on the back of
the Boiler) does not make the control panel display
light up, it could mean that the service fuse needs
replacing. On the rear of the Boiler there is a fuse
holding compartment which is located underneath
the supply socket. With a screwdriver open the
cover of the fuse holding compartment, and re
place the fuse if necessary (3,15 AT delayed type).
Plug the unit back in and press the main switch.
CLEANING BY THE TECHNICAL
Check every year
Compartment ventilation flue gas cleaning
Remove the fixing screws and remove the smoke fan
for cleaning of the same. Perform the task with the
greatest care not to bend the fan blades.
Clean flue
Clean the flue system especially near the fittings to
"T", curves and any horizontal sections. Is necessary
to check and remove any deposit of ash and soot
before the same clogging the passage of smoke.
Cleaning the exchanger
Once a year is also recommended to clean the upper
com-partment of the exchanger. To make a proper
cleaning is rec-ommended to suck the ash, remove
all horizontal joints with a screwdriver, then again
suck the ash. Lift the upper door that covers the
tube by unscrewing the screws. Pull out the 10 soft
brush and wipe with a clean 10 exchanger tubes.
Perform cleaning after removing the springs inserted
in each pipe. The operation is simple by removing
the springs from the horizontal pin to which they
are attached. To do this, the horizontal pin can be
pulled through a hole in the wall of the Boiler body.
