Cleaning the Burner/Boiler:
Cleaning should be carried out regularly and/or as needed.
There is a big difference in the frequency of maintenance required from
system to system. The setup, adjustment, and wood pellet quality play an
important role on how frequent maintenance should be performed.
The table is only a suggestion an applies only to the BS1016, BS2030 and BS4050 boilers!

Turn off the burner in connection with cleaning.
Turn off the controller and allow to cool for approx. 5 min. Once the burner is completely turned
off, it is ready for cleaning. Unplug the burner, remove the shield, drop shaft, and detatch the
burner from the boiler so work can be easily performed.
Boiler.
All surfaces inside the boiler must be brushed clean from any deposits and the ash can must be
emptied. When empting the ash can, pay special attention to any build-up of ash in the rear
smoke chamber and flue, since the Chimney Sweeper may not always be removing the ash from
the chimney flue.
Never dispose of hot ashes in the trash, but let it cool in a metal bucket.
Hot ashes can start burning when it gets oxygen (air) .
Burner head.
Remove any ash or cinders from the grate. Remove any pellet remnants under the burner grate.
Wipe the photo sensor clean. When re-inserting the photo sensor, ensure that the sensor points
towards the combustion grate. Ensure that there is nothing lodged in the fan and that it can
rotate freely.
Hopper.
Since pellets naturally contain dust, you should periodically empty the hopper completely. The
more dust that is present in the hopper, the less the auger will dispense, and the more unstable
the dosing. The boiler will go out of adjustment with greater risk of downtime. How often one
should empty the hopper depends greatly on the design and quality of the pellets you use.
Put
1 dl cooking oil or similar into the hopper each time it is emptied (poured over the
last pellets) and the hopper will automatically empty the sawdust.
Start-up after cleaning.
Once the pellet boiler is reassembled, turn on the controller and the burner will start itself up.
Remember to reattach the shield so that the temperature reading on the burner is
correct.
