9.6 Exhaust system cleaning
Until you are reasonably experienced regarding operating conditions,
it is advisable to perform this service at least monthly. Remove the T-
fitting cap and proceed with duct cleaning. If necessary, at least the
first few times, request assistance from a qualified technician.
9.7 Cleaning metal and ceramic parts
Use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean metal boiler parts
Never clean metal or ceramic parts with alcohol, diluting agents,
petrol, ketones or other degreasers
.
Use of these substances frees the company from all liability.
Discolouration of metal parts can be the result of improper use of the
boiler.
9.8 Cleaning the glass
The door’s glass must be cold cleaned
with ammonia-based and non-corrosive degreasers, such as a
diluent. Prevent corrosive substances from coming into contact with the paint on the boiler as these can cause
damage. If the glass is hot, before cleaning, keep the door open as long as necessary until it cools down. Do
not use any material that can scratch or damage the glass.
9.9 Glass breakage
The boiler is equipped with 4 mm thick ceramic glass that is resistant to a thermal shock of 750°C. This glass
may only break due to a strong impact or misuse. Do not slam the door or hit the glass. In case of breakage,
replace with an original replacement part only.
Contact a Technical Support Centre to replace.
9.10 Replacing the remote control battery
Replace the old battery with a type
CR2025 3V
new one paying attention not to invert the polarity (
polarity is
shown on the remote control sheet
), then re-close the remote control and dispose of the old battery according
to the regulations in force.
The installed battery must be the type specified above. Failure to comply with these instructions may create
an explosion hazard.
9.11 Cleaning the smoke fan
CAUTION: all cleaning and/or maintenance operations must be performed with the POWER OFF.
The boiler is equipped with fans (room and fumes) located at the lower rear of the boiler. Any deposits of dust
or ash on fan blades lead to an imbalance which causes noise during operation. Fans must therefore be
cleaned at least once annually. As this operation involves the removal of some boiler parts,
have the fan
cleaned by a Technical Support Centre or qualified personnel only.
9.12 Stove inactivity
At the end of the season, perform the following operations:
•
Remove the whole pellet from the tank and from the feed screw;
•
Thoroughly clean the brazier, the brazier support, the combustion chamber and the ash drawer;
•
Thoroughly clean the smoke exhaust system: contact a professional chimney sweep for this
purpose;
•
Clean all dust, spider webs, etc., the area behind the panels of the inner cladding, specifically the
fans.
•
Disconnect the power cable;
•
Leave the fire door ajar to avoid humidity from getting into the fumes duct and risk oxidising the inner
surfaces.
