4. Maintenance work
WARNING
Before starting any cleaning work, the stove must be cool down! The mains plug must be pulled out of
the power supply socket (always in advance)!
The frequency of maintenance in turn depends to a large extent on the pellet quality (ash content). Quality
pellets have a low ash content of about 0.2-0.3%. However, if the ash content is higher (0.5% and over), the
interval from maintenance to maintenance is reduced and the accumulation of ash increases by 2 or 3 times.
WARNING
Devices that are not maintained in accordance with our specifications must not be operated. Failure to
observe this point will invalidate all guarantee claims.
4.1. Cleaning the pellet container - annual maintenance
• Heat the pellet stove until the storage tank is completely empty.
• Then the protective grille (1) in the pellet tank may be removed.
• Then clean the tank and the intake of the screw conveyor housing with a vacuum cleaner.
• After cleaning, it is essential to put back the protective grille. When doing this, make sure that no screws fall
into the pellet tank so as to avoid consequential damage to the screw conveyor.
