The following operations are to be programmed annually by the Authorized Assistance Centre and are necessary to insure

that the product remains efficient and guarantee safe operation.

• Careful cleaning of the combustion chamber;

• Cleaning and inspection of the smoke clearing ducts;

• Checking the seal of the gaskets;

• Cleaning the mechanisms and moving parts (motors and fans);

12.3 Season end cleaning

At the end of the season, when the insert will not be used for some time, it is advisable to perform a thorough and general cleaning:

• Remove all the pellets from the container and the screw feeder;

• Carefully clean the brazier, the brazier support, the combustion chamber and the ash box.

Once the preceding points have been observed, it only means that the state of the insert has been verified. It is necessary

to thoroughly clean the smoke discharge tube or flue and check the condition of the basket. If necessary, order a new

one from our Authorized Assistance Centre. If necessary, lubricate the hinges of the door and the handle. Also check the

ceramic fibre cord near the glass, on the internal wall of the door; if it is worn or too dry, order a new one from the Author-

ized Assistance Centre.
