Maintenance and cleaning
The decreased or absent cleaning can
cause misfi re and cause damage to the
thermostove and the environment
(possible emissions of soot and
unburned). Do not pour the pellets may
be present in the brazier to misfi re.
Cleaning exchanger - thermostove 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 combustion chamber
including the spark plug lead.
Cleaning of stainless steel and satin-fi nish
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 or a clean dry cloth moistened with a
detergent based on non-ionic surfactants (<5%) A
spray glass cleaner may be used.
Do not use abrasive materials or
harsh. Clean with damp cotton or
paper towels.
Check every 7 days
Lower ash drawer cleaning
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.
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 fl ake 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.
