4.2.4 INSPECTING AND CLEANING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WITH VACUUM
Recommended frequency: Every 500 uses.
The catalyst is the primary air duct between the incineration chamber and the appliance flue terminal. Any
accumulations of particles in the catalytic converter will reduce the flow rate and the toilet efficiency. It is
therefore important to ensure that the catalytic converter is open at all times. Any changes in incineration time
and/or incineration efficiency may be due to dense catalytic conversion. The best method to easily clean the
catalyst is to perform “steam cleaning” as described in section 4.2.2. You can also inspect the front of the catalyst
by removing the ash container and illuminating the combustion chamber from the inside. Any particles and
accumulations can be removed using a vacuum cleaner.
NOTE!
Clear signs of corrosion or deformity of the catalytic converter will indicate that the catalytic
converter must be replaced. Contact your local service provider to arrange for service.
4.3 PROFESSIONAL MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Any maintenance that requires you to disconnect the appliance from the gas needs to be
performed by a licensed professional.
4.3.1 CLEANING THE APPLIANCE FLUE TERMINAL
Recommended frequency: at least every 500 uses.
1.
The appliance will have to be disconnected from the flue pipe and power source.
2.
Clean the flue terminal with a flexible brush, it is important that you clean both the exhaust pipe and
surrounding venturi all the way back to the fan blades, this to get sufficient air flow.
3. Remove the ash container and clean out any debris in the container.
4.
Use a vacuum cleaner to extract the remaining debris in the exhaust pipe and catalytic converter.
5.
Reconnect the appliance to the flue pipe and power supply.
6. Install the ash container and front cover.
7.
It is recommended that you perform a steam cleaning as described in section 4.2.2 after performing the flue
terminal maintenance.
