BOILER MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING WITH CAST IRON BRAZIER
All cleaning operations of all parts must be carried out with a completely cold boiler with
the power supply plug disconnected in order to prevent thermal shocks. The boiler requires
little maintenance if used with certified, high quality pellets. Maintenance varies according
to the conditions of use (repeated ignitions and switch-offs) and depending on the perfor-
mance required. IT IS recommended to check the boiler regularly to verify its good condi-
tion.

Daily check
The boiler requires simple, thorough cleaning in order to
always ensure efficient performance and normal operation.
Use the special tool to clean the brazier from ashes or scale that
may obstruct the air passage holes. If the pellets finish in the
tank, unburnt pellets may accumulate in the brazier.
Always empty the brazier from residues before every ignition.
Remember that a brazier positioned and cleaned correctly can
ensure perfect ignition and operation of your pellet boiler.
When placing the crucible, be precise when checking that
its edges adhere perfectly to their housing and that the hole
coincides with the pipe dedicated to passing the resistance.
There must be no combustion residues in the contact area
between the edges of the crucible and the support surface on
the crucible support.
