Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning exchanger - stove 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.
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.
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.
Avoid contact with skin cleanser
and eyes. In case this happens,
sprinkle with plenty of water
and contact the nearest medial
center.
Do not use abrasive materials or
harsh. Clean with damp cotton or
paper towels.
Flame-shell cleaning
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.
Cleaning ash and combustion chamber
including the spark plug lead.
