Cleaning the boiler
Pellet boilers require regular cleaning in order to function properly and efficient. The boiler is
equipped with three cleaning tools appropriate for the cleaning procedure of the boiler, as shown
in Fig 6.

Boiler cleaning tools
The boiler function must be stopped before cleaning! Make sure all the devices
are stopped, and the boiler has cooled down. It is strictly prohibited to clean the boiler
while in function!
Open the ash box situated at the bottom of the boiler. First clean the burner head and any other
parts that need to be cleaned.
Open the door to have access to the heat exchanger. Remove the turbinators from the tubes,
and clean the tubes with the brush. Afterwards clean the surfaces of the fire chamber with the
the scraper, as shown in Fig 7. With the same tool, scrape the ash and any other remains from
the walls of the boiler.
The hook can be used to remove the turbinators or other surfaces that might be hot or blocked.
Fig 7.
Cleaning of the boiler
When the ash box is filled with ash, dispose it. This interval can vary between 1-3 weeks,
according to the quality of the pellets and the intensity of boiler function.
The ash must be disposed in an appropriate container! Do not throw the ash
together with the domestic garbage. Be careful since ash might contain hot particles,
even long time after stop.
