6. Cleaning and Maintenance
CAUTION: Only work on the stove when the mains plug has been removed from the
socket.
During assembly do not drop any items (screws) etc. into the fuel container - they
can block the conveyor auger and damage the stove.
Your stove must be switched off and have cooled down before work is carried out.
Not
cleaning this unit will cause it to burn poorly and will avoid your stove’s
warranty.
The frequency with which your stove must be cleaned as well as the maintenance intervals
depends on the fuel you use. High moisture contents, ash, dust and chips can more than
double the necessary maintenance intervals. We would like to point out once again that you
should only use tested and recommended wooden pellets as a fuel.
Operating handle
Your new pellet stove comes with an operating handle that is used for opening or closing the
grate
door. Please use this operating handle for:
●
Cleaning the fire pan; Loosening the pellets in the pellet container should they stick to the
side
walls;
Wood as a fertiliser
Wood mineral residue (approx. 1 -2%) remains in the combustion chamber as ash. This ash is
natural product and is an excellent fertiliser for all plants in the garden. However the ash
should be aged first and “quenched” with water
CAUTION: Embers may be hidden in the ash – empty only into
metal containers.
