Sweeping
The sweeping carried out by a chimney sweep includes
all flue gas routes from the hearth to the top of the chim-
ney. You can check the boiler’s fire-affected surfaces and
flue gas ducts yourself to determine how often the boiler
should be swept.
Gas, which contains tar substances, builds up in the wood
magazine. These substances condense on the walls of the
wood magazine and are later burned off. This means that
the walls of the wood magazine do not usually have to be
cleaned. The convection part is cleaned by removing the
top soot door (66), pulling up the turbulator and brushing
clean. This should be done a few times between chimney
sweep visits.
For optimum combustion and efficiency the boiler’s sec-
ondary combustion chamber should be cleaned after
about 15 additions of wood. The compartment is cleaned
from the front via the lower door by pulling out the flame
trough and brushing. Take care to remove any burnt on
ash remains in the trough.

Charge and circulation pump
If a charge or circulation pump is not in operation for en
extended period of time, it should be started from time to
time so that it does not jam.
Ash can still contain glowing embers after
a long time. Therefore, always use a non-
inflammable container when emptying ash
and soot.
