5. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
ATTENTION!
All cleaning of all parts must be carried out with the
stove completely cold and unplugged.
The stove does not need much maintenance if used with
certified quality pellets.
DAILY AND WEEKLY CLEANING BY THE USER
5.1.
5.1.1. Before each lighting
Using a suitable tool clean the grate "F" of ash and any incrustation
which could obstruct the passage of air.
In the case of pellet depletion, unburnt pellet in the grate could
accumulate in the hopper. Always empty the residuals from the grate
prior to each lighting.
REMEMBER THAT ONLY A CORRECTLY POSITIONED
AND CLEAN GRATE CAN GUARANTEE THE OPTIMAL
LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF YOUR PELLET STOVE.
For good cleaning of the grate, pull it completely out of its housing and
thoroughly clean the grate and holes on the bottom. If you use good-
quality pellets, you will normally only need to use a paintbrush to
restore the perfect condition of the component. For tough incrustations,
use the steel tool provided with the stove.
5.1.2. Check every 2/3 days
Clean and empty the ash drawer, watching out for hot ash.
Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with
a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled. No other
waste shall be placed in this container.
Only if the ash is completely cold, it is possible to use a vacuum
cleaner to remove it. Use a drum-type vacuum cleaner that is suitable
for picking up particles of a certain size.
Experience, and the quality of the pellets used, will determine the
frequency of cleaning.
It is however advisable not to let it exceed 2 or 3 days.
Once the operation is finished, reinsert the ash drawer below the grate
making sure it is properly seated.
