Cleaning the FIREX 600
All Ravelli products have a combustion chamber made with FIREX 600, a material based on vermiculite, the result of research and
development by Ravelli. The main features of FIREX 600 are resistant to heat, its lightness and excellent insulating capacities, im-
proving the combustion and performance of the stove.
During combustion, FIREX 600 turns white, due to an effect called PYROLYSIS, making the flame clear and shining. If the combus-
tion is regulated in an optimal way, the FIREX 600 interior always remains clean and white.
The condition of FIREX 600 is therefore a thermometer to understand whether the combustion is good or not.
FIREX 600 LIGHT – GOOD COMBUSTION
FIREX 600 DARK – POOR COMBUSTION
Firex 600 does not require special maintenance, it only has to be dusted with a soft brush to remove the ash that is deposited during
combustion.
Abrasive sponges to clean to most resistant waste should not be used as they could compromise the thickness of the FIREX600
panel, creating critical points of breakage.
The tube of the vacuum cleaner should not be used in direct contact with FIREX 600.
Wet cloths should not be used to clean FIREX 600.
FIREX 600 is resistant to heat but not to knocks; handle with care if moved.
FIREX 600 may show a slight abrasion after a few hours of functioning, this is perfectly normal as the flame creates microgrooves
in the panel without compromising it.
The duration of FIREX 600 depends only on how maintenance is carried out.
The pellet stove is a generator of heat with a solid fuel and as such requires servicing by qualified personnel at least once a year at
the start of the season. This maintenance has the purpose of ascertaining and ensuring the perfect efficiency of all the components.
We recommend you draw up an annual contract for maintenance of the product with your installer/dealer.
