Maintenance and servicing

Regular checks of the pellet heating system are a prerequisite for reliable, efficient and environment-friendly operation.

9.1 Maintenance

The maintenance, boiler cleaning and cleaning of flue gas connection it is necessary at least once a year. For PE(S)
36-56 it is necessary in any case at least every 2000 operating hours. Pellets which produces tendentially more
slagging (ash melting point <1300 ° C) and pellets with higher bulk density (> 650kg) leads to additional cleaning of the
burner plate at regular intervals.

9.2 Cleaning the boiler every year

The pellet boiler is equipped with an automatic cleaning
system that cleans the heat exchanger every day. In
addition, you need to clean the boiler manually once a
year before the start of the heating season.

Cleaning of the pellet boiler has to be performed from a
authorized service technician at least every third year.

Risk of burns

Do not clean the boiler until it has been allowed to cool
down.
Switch off the heating system at least 6 hours before
opening the boiler.
Switch off the main switch before starting any maintenance
work on the system.

Risk of cut injuries due to sharp edges

Use gloves.

Note

Check first of all, if all seals are in a good condition and the doors closes tightly.
