13 Maintenance, cleaning, testing the stove
All cleaning operations and tests must be carried out when the stove is cold, with the plug disconnected,
using gloves and mask. The ZF company does not assume civil or criminal liability, in case you clean or
test the stove when this is on, still warm, with the voltage supply switched on and without proper
protective equipment.
Daily cleaning
Brazier Cleaning
The cleaning of the brazier is very important for the proper operation of the stove; it should be performed
daily before each start. Lift the brazier from its place, clean the inside of the brazier with a brush by
removing combustion remains and free all the air passages with a screwdriver or a pointed tool (not
supplied with the stove). This operation is particularly necessary when using a pellet of poor quality; it is
also good to check and clean the brazier support, if there are remains inside they should be removed
with a shovel or with a vacuum cleaner. A good cleaning of the brazier ensures good combustion and,
consequently, a high yield of the stove.
Cleaning the combustion chamber and ash drawer
The cleaning of the ash drawer and combustion chamber should be made when the ash reaches the edge
of the same drawer; it is strictly forbidden to light the
stove if the ash goes beyond it. Every day when you
clean the brazier also check if the drawer has to be
emptied. This maintenance must be done when the
stove is cold; it is forbidden to use water to cool the ash
or to clean the inside of the stove. You can use the
vacuum cleaner, but the ash has to be perfectly cold.
The drawer must be replaced correctly and get to the
bottom and there should be no remains of ash in front
of or under it, if remains are present, there can be
interference with the closing of the door, consequently
a loss of air in the combustion chamber.
Cleaning the glass
The glass is self-cleaning and so, while the stove is in operation, a little of air flows along the surface of
the same, taking away the ash and dirt; Nevertheless, after a few hours, a grayish patina will appear and it
has to be cleaned at the first turning off of the stove. The dirt on the glass also depends on the quality
and quantity of pellets used.
When this operation is done, always watch if the gray seal around the glass is in good condition; if you
don’t control the efficiency of this seal, the operation of the stove may be compromised. Pellets of poor
quality, dirty brazier, may nevertheless cause more dirt in the glass.
Attention: in case of broken or damaged glass, do not try to turn on the stove.
