9  WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE 

All maintenance operations (cleaning, potential replacements, etc.) must be carried out when the 

fire is out and the boiler is cold. In addition, do not use any abrasive substances. 

CAUTION: FAILURE TO CLEAN AFFECTS SAFETY 

 

9.1 

Opening the door 

The door must remain closed during operation. The door should be opened only with the boiler off 

and cooled down to perform maintenance and routine cleaning. 

 

9.2 

Ash drawer cleaning 

Check the ash drawer every two days to see if it needs 

emptying. 

The ash collection compartment must be emptied regularly so 

as to impede combustion residue from arriving at the  brazier 

support. Ashes must be placed in a metal container with a 

sealed lid. Until ashes are completely out, the sealed container 

must be placed on a non-combustible base or on the ground 

and well away from combustible materials. 

CAUTION: Ash keeps embers on for a long time! 

 

 

9.3 

Brazier cleaning 

When the flame becomes red or is weak accompanied by black 

smoke, it may mean that there are ash deposits or  incrustations 

which are not allowing correct boiler operation and which must be 

removed. 

Every two days,  remove the brazier by simply lifting it from its 

housing, then clean it from ash and any incrustations which may 

have formed, with particular attention to freeing clogged holes 

using a pointed tool. 

This operation is necessary in particular the first few ignitions, 

especially when using different quality pellets. The timing of this 

operation is determined by the frequency of use and the choice of 

fuel. 

It is advisable to also check the brazier support, emptying it of any 

ashes. 

CAUTION: before turning on the boiler, check that the brazier is 

pushed back toward the deflector and that the glow plug tube is 

inserted in the corresponding brazier hole. 

 

9.4 

Combustion chamber cleaning 

Clean the combustion chamber weekly, removing ashes 

accumulated in the chamber using a vacuum cleaner. 

NOTE A vacuum cleaner designed for the suction of ashes 

is required for this type of cleaning
