13 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
13.1 INTRODUCTION
For a long working life of the stove, have a periodic cleaning of the stove as described in the following paragrafs.
• Fume outlet pipes (fume c chimney flue + chimney pot) must always be cleaned, scrubbed and checked by an autho-
rized technician in compliance with local regulations, with the instructions of the manufacturer and those of your insurance
company.
• If there are no local regulations and no instruction from your insurance company, it is necessary to have your fume pipe, chim-
ney flue and chimney pot cleaned at least once a year.
• It is also necessary to have the combustion chamber, motors and fans cleaned and to have the gaskets and the electronical
elements checked at least once a year.
All these operations must be planned in time with your Autorized Technical Assistance Service.
• After a long ineffective time, before turning on the stove check if there are obstructions in the fume exhaust.
• If the stove had been using continuously and intensely, the whole system (chimney included), must be cleaned and checked
more frequently.
• In case of replacement of damaged pieces please ask for the original spare part at the Autorized Retailer.
13.2 BEFORE EACH START-UP
Clean the ash and any deposits in the brazier that could clog the air passage holes.
If the pellets in the hopper finish, unburned pellets may accumulate in the brazier. Always empty the residue in the brazier before
startingup.
Check that there is no excessive ash accumulated under the burning pot compartment. If it exceeds 2 cm of height, we recommend
sucking it.
REMEMBER THAT ONLY A CORRECTLY POSITIONED AND CLEAN BRAZIER CAN GUARANTEE START-UP AND OPTI-
MAL OPERATION OF YOUR PELLET PRODUCT.
For the brazier to be cleaned properly, remove it from its housing completely and thoroughly clean all the holes and the grate on
the bottom.
If good quality pellets are used, you will normally only need to use a brush to restore the optimal operating conditions of the
component.

13.3 ASH DRAWER CLEANING
Pull out and empty ash drawer “B”. Remove any ash residue from the compartment before reinserting the drawer. Experience and
pellet quality will determine the frequency of the ash drawer cleaning.
