Cleaning.the.boiler
Rake out the ash from the combustion tunnel before each
burning cycle.
It is normal for tar to form on the walls of the combustion cham-
ber. The tar does not need to be removed because it will burn off
once the layer has reached a certain thickness. The tar does not
affect the efficiency of the boiler, and the output of the boiler is cal-
culated and dimensioned on the basis of the heat conversion surface
area in the flue ducts. The flue ducts must be kept clean
at all times. In a cleaned boiler, less of the heat escapes
with the flue gases. One way of telling whether it is time for
cleaning is to check the flue gas thermostat. It is a good idea
to clean the boiler if the flue gas temperature is approx. 80°F higher
than the temperature in a clean boiler.
• Open the cleaning hatch.
• Pull out the five turbulators, using the tool.
Clean the pipes with the pipe brush.
When cleaning the three upper pipes, be careful not to push the
pipe cleaner through the grating, damaging the fan. Do not push
the pipe cleaner further than the end of the pipe. You can feel
when you have reached the end from the difference in the amount
of force needed to push the cleaner.
Replace the turbulators.
• Open the firewood hatch and the bypass damper.
Remove the ash on the plate in the upper front edge of the com-
bustion chamber. There should always be a small quantity of ash
on the ceramic grate in order to extend the service life of the grate.
• Open the ash hatch and remove the inner ash hatch.
Rake out the ash from the combustion tunnel but leaving a protec-
tive layer of a couple of centimetres.
Clean the chamber around the combustion tunnel.
Close all hatches and dampers.
Chimney.sweeping
After the chimney has been swept, unscrew the wingnuts on the
front of the flue pipe, 3 and 18, and remove the cover. Remove soot
and ash. Before restarting the boiler, remove any soot and ash that
has fallen onto the fan and into the collection chamber 44.
Cleaning.the.fan
If necessary the fan can be removed and cleaned, You should handle
the fan with care.
• Remove the fan connector, 16, from the boiler plug.
• Unscrew the long nuts, 4a, securing the fan.
• Clean the fan blades carefully so they keep their shape. You are
recommended to use a paintbrush.
• Replace the fan and connect the cables.

When cleaning, do not leave any remains of wood or embers
on the grate.
Disconnect the power supply to the boiler before cleaning.
Ashes may contain embers for a long time after the burning
cycle, so keep them in a non-flammable container with a
cover.
