SPECIAL MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES TYPE 3
These activities should be carried out at the end of the season, along with the activities of routine maintenance Type 1
and special maintenance Type 2.
Smoke motor
These activities of special maintenance are used to clean the smoke motor and its casing, as well as to carry out a
thorough cleaning of the lower part of the heat exchanger.
⚠
ATTENTION: These activities have to be performed by authorised personnel.
⚠
ATTENTION: Each cleaning activity has to be performed when the furnace is completely cold and disconnected from
the power supply (with the cable pulled out from the socket).
⚠
ATTENTION: Be sure that ash is completely cold before you start cleaning. Once you observe that ash is cold, you
may vacuum it with a vacuum cleaner.
5.2.3
CHECKING OF SEALS
In conducting the activities of special maintenance at the end of the season, make sure that the authorised person also
checks the door seals and the components that can be removed. These parts usually must be replaced every three years,
depending on the type of furnace, the intensity of use, etc. Seals must be elastic at touch and must be replaced if they
become totally glassy.
5.2.4
CLEANING OF THE EXHAUST DUCT
It is recommended to clean the smoke duct and the pipe on the regular basis.
These cleaning activities shall be performed at least annually or more frequently if the unit is used on a daily basis, or if
the characteristics of the fuel used differ from the characteristics listed in section 1.7.
It is recommended that these activities are done by professional staff; ask for their contact details from a reseller. The
intervention of the authorised person can be an effective and economical way to protect the system from corrosion and to
ensure its efficient operation.
For the houses that are not occupied throughout the year, it is recommended to review the pipe and chimney at the
beginning of the heating season, even if they have already been cleaned, to make sure that there are no obstacles, such as
bee nests, bird nests or other similar elements.
Withdrawal from use
It is recommended that you leave the stove to burn all the wood pellets from the tank before you start with routine and
special maintenance and putting the furnace out of service at the end of the heating season.
⚠
ATTENTION: When the heating season is off, the power cord of the furnace must be disconnected from the socket.
