For the first few days during pellet operation, keep the pellet
basket under observation to determine after how many days it
must be cleaned, as different qualities of pellets have different
quantities of residue.
Before starting any type of cleaning, switch
off the main switch and make sure that the
stove is cold.
• Pellet basket cleaning (2-5 days)
Eliminate any debris in the basket, turning it over with a tool
and with its tip remove any material that may be clogging it,
striking the inner walls of the basket then shaking it; or remove
the basket completely from its housing to make cleaning easi-
er.
Clean the air passage holes in the basket carefully with a point-
ed tool.
Make sure that the area where the basket rests is cleaned well
(if the basket does not sit well on it and air passes, the stove
will not light up and operates poorly; it can also let returning
smoke enter the pellet hopper).
Reposition the pellet basket perfectly.
• Glass cleaning (daily)
Clean the glass daily with a damp sponge or paper towel. If the
glass becomes dirty with black smoke, the pellet basket is
probably dirty or the combustion air must be increased.
Take care not to use products that are too aggressive in order
not to ruin the paint.
If the stove requires more frequent and deeper cleaning, check
the flue's uptake and the chimney cap. A windproof chimney
cap is recommended.
• Ash compartment cleaning
Remove the ash grid and empty the pellet ash compartment
periodically whenever necessary. Use a "drum type" vacuum
cleaner equipped with a fine mesh filter, which will simplify clean-
ing as it prevents aspirated ash from returning to the environ-
ment.
• Cleaning stove main body (to be verified according to the
usage)
Remove the basket and remove the FIREFLECTOR panels
(see sequence).
Using the provided brush, clean the exchanger making the smut
fall into the ash drawer or the fume extractor compartment.
Empty the ash drawer and clean the ash container carefully.
A vacuum cleaner can be used for aspirating residual smut and
ash. Reassemble everything perfectly.
• Pellet hopper cleaning
Every 500-1000 kg of burned pellets, empty the hopper and
check that no sawdust has deposited on the bottom. Clean the
bottom of the hopper carefully.
After a long period of inactivity, empty the hopper and auger
completely.
