- Switch the boiler back on.

Cleaning primary and secondary
air distributor

Open the front intermediate door and clean the inner space
carefully from tarry residues, dust and wood flakes which have
entered through the primary and secondary air holes.
Carefully clean the secondary air passages in the main stone
with a

soft brush

During summer, we recommend keeping the boiler doors closed.
