11.1 Maintenance of the smoke system
To be carried out at least once a year, or every 4 tonnes of fuel burned (as specified in the product
standard), by contacting specialist personnel
If there are horizontal sections, it is necessary to check and remove any deposits of ash and soot
before they obstruct the passage of fumes.
The incrustations inside the flue affect the optimum forced draught. When they reach a thickness of
5-6 mm, with high temperatures and sparks, they can ignite with easily imaginable consequences
both for the flue and for the house.
11.2 Appliance maintenance
To be carried out at least once a year, or every time the appliance signals maintenance request.
During the maintenance operation, the technician must:
• clean the flue gas transit area thoroughly and completely;
• check the condition and tightness of all the seals;
• check the condition of all internal components and make sure they are clean;
• make sure the flue gas outlet connection is sealed and clean;
• check the correct operation of the appliance.
