clean the compartment under the grate and the heat exchanger inside it. This general cleaning should be carried out at
the end of the season in order to facilitate the general removal of all residues of combustion, without waiting too long,
because with time and humidity these residues can become compacted.
5.2.2. Shutting the stove down (end of season)
In the period when the stove is out of use it must be disconnected from the electricity mains. For greater
safety, especially if there are children around, we recommend removing the power cable from the rear of the
stove.
(Figure 17)
Before placing the stove in storage, you should remove all pellets from
the hopper with a vacuum cleaner with a long extension. If the fuel is
left in the hopper, it may get damp, stick together, and be difficult to
light at the beginning of the next season If the stove is removed form its
place of installation
it MUST be placed in a location that is protected
from atmospheric agents.
If pressing the main switch (located on the
back of the stove) does not make the control panel display light up, it
could mean that the service fuse needs replacing.
