Reduced or failed cleaning may
cause a failed ignition with conse-
quent damage to the boiler and the
environment (possible emissions of un-
burnt and soot). Do not re-introduce the
pellets that may be present in the brazier
for non-ignition.
Cleaning exchanger (boiler off)
Fouling act as insulation and the thicker they are, the
lower the heat that is transmitted to the water and
to the structure generally. Therefore very important
to perform the cleaning of the tube bundle, said
exchanger also, to prevent the fouling of the same
and prevent clogging and jamming of the cleaning
device. Pull and push quickly for 5-6 times the lever
so that the springs can remove the soot deposited
on the pipes.
Check every 2/3 days
Cleaning the ash collection compartment
Clean and empty the ash tray being careful with
hot ash. The ash must be completely cold for a
vacuum cleaner to be used to remove it. Only if the
ash is completely cold, you can also use a canister
vacuum cleaner suitable for picking up particles of
a certain size.
Cleaning ash and
including the spark plug lead
Cleaning of stainless steel and satin-finish
surfaces
Normally these surfaces do not need to be treated,
but if they do, avoid cleaning them with abrasive
materials. For surfaces in stainless and satin brushed
steel we recommend cleaning with a paper towel
38
combustion chamber
or a clean dry cloth moistened with a detergent
based on non-ionic surfactants (<5%) A spray glass
cleaner may be used.
Avoid contact with skin cleanser
and eyes. In case this happens,
sprinkle with plenty of water and
contact the nearest medial center.
Cleaning of painted pats
Do not clean the painted parts with wet rags when
the unit is in operation or hot to prevent thermal
shock to the paint which may cause it to detach. Do
not use abrasive or aggressive products or materials.
Clean with damp cotton or paper towels. The silicon
paints used by manufacturer possess technical
characteristics that make them resistent to very high
temperatures. There is however a physical limit (380°
C - 400° C) beyond which the paint begins to fade
or (over 450°) to vitrify; it may then flake and detach
from the steel surface. If this happens, it means that
temperatures have been reached that are far above
those at which the unit should operate properly.
Do not use abrasive materials or
harsh. Clean with damp cotton or
paper towels.
Lower ash drawer cleaning
Check every 7 days
Clean bottom ash from the fallen debris during
operation. You can access the ash pan by loosening
the two wing nuts that hold the drawer inspection.
Remove the tray, empty and clean the wall and only
the corners with a suction device or with dedicated
tooling. Then mount the drawer and tighten the
two knobs being careful to restore the tightness,
very important during operation.
