11.9 Cleaning the clearing system
Until a reasonable experience is acquired regarding the operating conditions, it is advisable to perform this maintenance
on at least a monthly basis.
• Remove the electrical feed cable;
• Remove the cap from the T-joint and proceed with the cleaning of the ducts. If necessary, at least for the first few times,
call in qualified personnel;
• Carefully clean the smoke discharge system: for this, contact a professional chimney sweep;
• Once a year clean the dust, cobwebs, etc. from the zone behind the internal covering panels, paying particular attention
to the fans.
11.10 Cleaning the fans
The insert is furnished with fans (environmental and smoke) positioned at the rear and below the insert.
Eventual deposits of dust or ash on the blades of the fan can cause an imbalance in the fans leading to noisy performance.
It is, therefore, necessary to clean the fans at least once a year.
Since said operation requires dismantling several parts of the insert, have the fans cleaned only by our Technical Assistance
Centre.
