9. CLEANING
Tip
Your RIKA dealer will gladly advise you about their service and maintenance
offers.
Depending on pellet consumption, a message prompting cleaning of the stove
appears on the display in regular intervals. This message can be acknowledged
on the Touch Display, while continuing operation. Perform a cleaning cycle at
the next opportunity.
Subsequently, reset the counter in the SETTINGS menu / RESETS submenu, as
per operating instructions of TOUCH DISPLAY.
Tip
The message will only stop reappearing once you have reset the feed volume
in the SETTINGS / Resets menu.
Note
Your stove must be switched off and cooled before any maintenance work is
performed. Only work on the unit when the mains plug has been disconnected.
Cleaning the convection air openings
Vacuum clean any dust deposits from the convection air openings at regular
intervals.
The stove should be cleaned thoroughly prior to the start of the heating season
to prevent excess odour.
Note
To prevent your stove from overheating of the internal components, do never
cover the convection fins!
Combustion air - intake
If necessary, please also clean the air intake with a hoover.
Note
Only when the stove is cold! You could vacuum out embers – FIRE RISK!
Cleaning the pellet container
Do not refill the completely empty container immediately; remove the residues
(dust, chippings etc.) from the empty container. The unit must be disconnected
from the mains!
Clean flue gas fan housing
To inspect and clean the flue gas fan, the back wall has to be removed.
The four screws that secure the flue gas fan motor have to be opened and the
motor is carefully to pull out of the case.
Remove with a vacuum cleaner the ash from the fan and flue gas pipes. When
closing again definitely pay attention to leaks.
For cleaning the flue pipe connection, pull the flue pipe from the flue gas fan and
vacuum the blower housing.
Cleaning flue gas channels
The flue gas channels are situated on the side of the combustion chamber.
Remove the convection fins by lifting slightly. The convection fins are only
suspended.
Open the screw of the sensor tube with an open end wrench 19 and remove the
flame temperature sensor and the sensor tube.
Open and remove the wing nut, which serves to secure the firebox lid. For ease
of disassembly, you should hold up the screw through the combustion chamber.
You can now lift off the combustion chamber lid.
Now clean the flue gas passes on the left and right of the combustion chamber
with the supplied wire brush.
Vacuum clean the exposed interior and the side passages of impurities.
Install the removed parts in reverse order again.
