Clean the pellet hopper and auger Once a month and/or when 2,500 kg of pel-
lets have been burnt
Clean the pellet supply pipe Once a week
6.2 CLEANING THE EXTERIOR OF THE STOVE
Clean the surface of the stove with hot water and soap. Do not use any abrasive or
solvent-based detergents as these could damage the stove’s finish.
6.3 CLEANING THE WINDOW
The window in the stove door should be cleaned before every start-up to
prevent soot and ash particles from burning into the glass.
The glass is heat resistant but can crack due to rapid temperature changes. There-
fore allow the window to cool down completely before cleaning it. Use ordinary
glass-cleaning spray and cleaning cloths.
Only clean the glass window when the stove has completely cooled off!
6.4 CLEANING THE BRAZIER AND ASH DRAWER
The brazier and ash drawer must be cleaned before each start-up.
1. Remove the brazier and the ash drawer from the combustion chamber. See
figures 4 & 5.
2. Clean the ash drawer.
3. Clean the brazier and its grate with a brush or vacuum cleaner. If the slots in
the grate are blocked, use a pointed instrument to clear them (see figure 6).
4. Clean the space beneath the brazier and the space under the ash drawer
with a vacuum cleaner.
G
Open slots and a clean grille in the combustion chamber are of key
importance to the proper burning of the pellets.
5. Put the brazier and the ash drawer back into the stove. Make sure the bra-
zier is refitted correctly. Make sure the large opening is near the ignition
rod (as indicated in figures 19 & 20). If the brazier is refitted incorrectly, the
stove will not be lit.
6.5 CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER
The heat exchanger needs to be cleaned daily with the help of a scraper. Make sure
the unit is switched off and the stove door closed. Move the scraper handle, which
is mounted on the outlet grille (see figure 9) forwards and then back. Repeat this
action 5 or 6 times until you no longer feel any resistance from the scraper.
