8.6 Cleaning the flue gas passes and the flue
tubes
Normally it is sufficient to clean the flue gas passes and
the flue tubes once a year. First pull the stove away from
the wall so as to create enough room to work at the
back.
To clean the flue gas passes, proceed as follows:
Disconnect the
flue baffle (1)
from the guide
by lifting it. Draw
the right
cladding (2)
down out of the
guide and place
it down in the
ash space. Then
the flue baffle
can be removed
and the upper
part of the
combustion
chamber can be
cleaned. (See
Figure 8a).

Removing the flue baffle
Then remove the right side wall. This is fixed with
screws (1) at the back and at the front with 3 connectors.
Remove the
screws from
the back and
pull the side
wall off
sideways.
(See Figure
8b).
Figure 8b:
Removing the side wall
Undo the screws and remove both the covers of the
openings. Now you can clean the exposed insides of the
flue gas passes. (See Figure 8 c+d).
After completion of the cleaning make sure that
when putting back the covers, the seals are seated
in the right positions. It is essential to replace
defective seals.

8.7 Cleaning the induced draught housing and
fan
This housing is made accessible for cleaning by undoing
the 4 nuts shown in Figure 9. (See arrows).
Remove the induced draught motor by pulling it out.
Now clean the flue gas passes, the induced draught fan
and the flue tubes with a brush and an ash vacuum
cleaner.
Then reassemble the components in reverse order.
Make sure that the seal is seated in the right position
again. It is essential to replace defective seals.
Make sure of the electrical connections on the fan motor
and their correct positions.
