EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE OF THE WOOD FIRED
BOILER
At the end of each heating season perform a general cleaning
of the boiler by removing all the ashes from the fire box. During
the summer season the boiler doors must be closed.
Cleaning the fan(s)
WARNING:
First of all cut the power supply to the boiler
Remove the fan and clean the blades from the
incrustations.
Normally to clean it properly we recommend you
use compressed air or scrape the dirt off.
Servicing of the boiler body
Danger !
Before servicing the boiler body, make sure
the boiler has cooled down.
Warnings
Do not drain any water from the boiler unless absolutely
necessary. Periodically check that the chimney is working
correctly and that it is in good condition.
In case of maintenance works on structures sited near to the
chimney or flue outlet system and their accessories, switch
OFF the boiler and, when the work is finished, check that they
are functioning correctly.
Do not clean the boiler or its parts with easily inflammable
products (gasoline, alcohol, etc.).
Do not leave inflammable products in the room where the boiler
is installed.
Do not clean the boiler room when the boiler is firing.
At the end of the heating season, the boiler must always be
checked in order to maintain the heating system in a good
working condition.
IMPORTANT
For cleaning the boiler use brushes and a
vacuum cleaner. If pieces of cloths are used
make sure they are all recovered.
Always keep the screws and nuts protected with
grease.
CLEANING AND ORDINARY MAINTENANCE OF THE WOOD
FIRED BOILER
Every day
- Remove the ash from the lower cradle.
- Remove , with the scraper supplied with the boiler, the embers
so that the ashes, accumulated in the fire bed will fall down
through the holes in the grate.
This operation will help to avoid the grate becoming obstructed
and the subsequent bad operation of the boiler.
This operation has to be done when there is not much flame,
and, in any case, before wood loading.
Every week
- Remove carefully all the residues of combustion accumulated
in the fire box.
- Clean, with the brush supplied, the triangular passes of the
combustion chamber, below the cradle.
- Remove the ashes from the flue chamber via the side doors,
using the scraper.
- Make sure the grate’s slots are not obstructed; if so, free the
passages using the poker.
- If the boiler continues to operate badly, even after having
cleaned it as described above, the cause can be attributed to
bad distribution of the secondary air.
