Fig. 36 - Cleaning with a brush
• Clean and drain away the burning pot box and ash tray box from ash which has accumulated in its inner (see
Fig. 35
).
• Clean also the hole for pellet drop with a brush (see
Fig. 36
).
• The ash remains must be poured in a metal container with a sealed lid and this container must never get in touch with combu-
stible materials (for example put on a wooden floor), as the inner ash keeps the embers firing for a long time.
• Only when the embers are off the ash coul be poured in the organic waste.
• Pay attention if the flame becomes red colured, if it is weak or if black smoke creates in the inner: in this case the burning pot
is encrusted and needs to be cleaned. If it is broken, it must be replaced.
13.4 HOPPER CLEANING

must be removed with the aid of a vacuum cleaner (see
Fig. 37
).
13.5 FUME PIPES ANNUAL CLEANING

flue and chimney pot. He will also check their eficiency and will release a written declaration of the safety of the appliance. This
operation must be executed at least once a year.
13.6 GENERAL CLEANING
For cleaning external and inner parts of the stove do not use steel wools, muriatic acid or other corrosive and abrasive materials.
13.7 CLEANING OF PAINTED METAL PANELS
To clean painted metal panels use a soft cloth. Do not use degreasant agents like alcool, diluents, acetone, gasoline because these
could irremediably damage the varnish.
13.8 CLEANING OF CERAMIC AND STONE PANELS
Some stove models has an external lining made up of ceramic or stone. These pieces are handmade therefore they could inevitably
present crazings, seedinesses, shadings.
To clean ceramic or stone panels use a soft and dry cloth. If using any cleaners this will seep through the crazings putting them in
evidence.
