In the event of lapsed or inadequate cleaning the
heat stove might have functionality issues such
as:
• poor combustion
• glass blackening
• burn pot clogging with accumulated ash and
pellets
• ash deposit and excessive scaling on the ex-
changer leading to poor performance.
The internal electrical-mechanical components
must be exclusively checked by skilled personnel
having technical knowledge in combustion and
electricity.
Cleaning the surfaces
As the stove is a heating appliance, its outer
surfaces are especially hot.
For this reason the utmost caution is recommended
during operation, namely:
• Do not touch the housing of the stove and the
various components, do not go near the door, it
might cause burns,
• Do not touch the flue gas exhaust
;
• Do not perform any kind of cleaning
;
• Do not discharge the ashes;
• Do not open the ash pan;
• Be careful to ensure children do not go close.
All cleaning operations of all parts must be carried
out with stove completely cold and electrical plug
disconnected.
To clean the surfaces, use a rag soaked with wa-
ter or, at most, with water and neutral soap.
For safety reasons, the frequency with
which to clean the flue gas exhaust sy
-
stem must be established according to
the frequency of stove use.
These operations must be performed
by a skilled technician or by the user
who will take on responsibility for
them, in the event of any damage during
maintenance.
Perform this maintenance with cold heat stove
and powered off. This maintenance is at the
customer's expense if it is performed by an
authorised service centre.
Using aggressive detergents or thinners
can damage the stove surfaces. Before
using any type of detergent, we recom-
mend testing it on a spot out of sight or contact-
ing the Authorised Service Centre for advice.
It is therefore recommended to perform this
yearly periodic maintenance (possibly with a
scheduled service contract) aiming at visual and
operation inspection of the following compo-
nents:
• gearmotor
•
flue gas ejection fan
•
flue gas probe
• exchanger fan
• igniter
• pellet reset thermostat
• room probe
• pressure switch
• electronic board
• panel - electronic board protection fuses
Heat stove maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning warnings
All cleaning operations of all parts must be carried
out with stove completely cold and electrical plug
disconnected.
Before performing any maintenance operation on
the stove, take the following precautionary meas-
ures:
• ensure all parts of the stove have cooled off;
• ensure the ashes are completely out;
• ensure the main switch is at OFF;
• unplug the stove thus avoiding accidental con-
tacts;
• when maintenance is over, check that every-
thing is in order as before the intervention (plac-
ing the burn pot properly).
