04.5 ICE ANTI-BLOCK FUNCTION
The pump cycles start automatically to ensure the perfect efficiency of the stove at any time, preventing its deterioration and any possible malfunction. When the
temperature inside the boiler drops below 6°C, the system starts the pump to prevent the formation of ice.
04.6 AUTOMATIC FILLING VALVE
Inside the stove is installed an automatic fill valve. It is enabled in the following cases:
•
Low water level: the level sensor detects when there is very little water inside the boiler due to evaporation. The sensor sends a signal to the control unit
which controls the solenoid valve.
•
Thermal safety: it keeps the temperature inside the boiler under control in case of overheating.
05 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
05.1 INTRODUCTION
The stove requires a simple yet constant cleaning to guarantee top efficiency and proper functioning.
Constant maintenance by a qualified technician is recommended.
The stove should be cleaned before the cold season because it can sometimes get clogged during the summer (by nests for example) preventing exhaust fumes
to flow regularly.
At the beginning of the season and in case of wind, a build-up of residue in the pipe may lead to fires. Should this happen, find below a few pieces of advice to
follow:
•
Block air supply to the pipe immediately;
•
Throw sand or kitchen salt, and not water, to extinguish fire and coals;
•
Keep objects and furniture away from the burning pipe.
ALSO TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF FAULT YEARLY CLEANING OF THE FLUE PIPE IS ESSENTIAL, REMOVING DEPOSITS OR ANY POCKETS OR
OBSTRUCTIONS.
05.2 DAILY CLEANING
Any cleaning operation must be performed when the stove is completely cold:
•
Empty the ash drawer: vacuum it out or dispose of the ashes in a waste bin.
•
Vacuum the combustion chamber: check that there are no embers that may still be lit. In this case your dust vacuum cleaner will catch fire.
•
Remove the ash inside firebox and on door.
•
Clean the glass with a damp cloth or with a ball of damp newspaper dipped in ash. If the operation is performed with the stove hot there is a risk of the
glass exploding.
CAUTION: USE A DRY CLOTH TO CLEAN THE STOVE EXTERNALLY. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS OR PRODUCTS THAT COULD CORRODE
OR WHITEN THE SURFACES.
05.3 MANUFACTURER’S RESPONSIBILIES
The manufacturer shall not be held liable against any direct and/or indirect, criminal and/or third party liability arising from:
•
failure to abide by the instructions contained herein.
•
non authorised repair operations or changes.
•
use not compliant with safety rules.
•
installation not compliant with national current regulations and safety rules.
•
insufficient maintenance.
•
the use of spare parts that are not original or which are not specific to the stove model.
06 TROUBLE-SHOOTING
•
The stove does not heat: the wood is too wet or of poor quality; insufficient chimney flue draught.
•
The stove heats too: excessive chimney flue draught; door or drawer gaskets replacement.
•
Bottom grate locked: check the grate and make sure there are no nails or wood pieces stuck in it.
•
Blackened glass: wood too wet or of poor quality, poor draught, insufficient combustion air, register closed too quick.
