7. 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.
7.1. DAILY AND WEEKLY CLEANING BY THE USER
7.1.1. Before each lighting
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.
7.1.2. Check every 2/3 days
Clean and empty the ash drawer, watching out for hot ash.
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 well inserted
7.1.3. Cleaning the glass
For cleaning the ceramic glass, the use of a dry brush is recommended,
or if it is very dirty, the special spray detergent, applying a small
quantity then cleaning with a cloth.
ATTENTION!
Do not use abrasive products and do not spray the
cleaning product on the glass of the painted parts or
on the gaskets of the fire door (ceramic fibre cord)
