Recommendations and obligations
Caution!
After every cleaning process, the boiler needs to be checked in terms of
the correct positioning of its components, the seal of the covers and the
boiler functioning.
At the end of the heating season, you need to remove any ash in the
boiler thoroughly, since mineral ash acts like a corrosive reagent and
reduces the reliability of the boiler. We recommend you remove all the
pellets (or other fuel, where used) from the fuel hopper since the pellets
may absorb humidity from the ambient air and clog the fuel conveyor
auger, cause start-up failures, etc.
The ash removal procedure described above is
COMPUSLORY. Failure to perform it will invalidate the
guarantee
. If the boiler maintenance and ash removal procedures are not performed, the efficiency and
reliability of the boiler performance could be compromised, and lead to operating faults (for instance,
clogging up the ash removal mechanism, obstructing the smoke blower fan etc.).
