Safety warnings for maintenance
⚠
Maintenance of the stove must be performed at least once a year and should be planned in advance with the Technical
Assistance Service.
⚠
In some conditions, such as turning the stove on and off or inappropriate use, the combustion products can contain small
soot particles that build up in the smoke evacuation system. This can reduce the cross-section of the smoke duct and pose
a fire risk. The smoke evacuation system must be inspected and cleaned at least once a year.
⚠
The maintenance operations must be carried out when the stove is cold and with the electrical power supply disconnected.
Before completing any maintenance operation, adopt the following precautions:
•
Make sure that all stove parts are cold.
•
Make sure that the ashes are completely cold.
•
Always operate with equipment that is appropriate for maintenance.
•
When maintenance is finished, re-install all of the dis-assembled parts before restarting operation.
📌
The quality of the pellet, the stove operating mode and combustion control can affect maintenance activity frequency.

📌
It is recommended in the early periods of use of the stove, or of a new type of pellet, to carry out cleaning operations
frequently, so as to be able to assess the exact frequency of intervention.
Fire pot cleaning
It is necessary to check that the fire pot where combustion takes place is well cleaned and that slag or residues do not obstruct the
holes. This precaution will ensure excellent combustion, avoiding the failed ignition of the stove. Cleaning must be carried out daily,
before each ignition. For a small cleaning, you can leave the fire pot in the stove, but if the residues are difficult to remove, you have
to take it out of its housing and scrape the slag.
The quantity and consistency of the ash residue depends on the quality of the pellets used.
⚠
After each maintenance operation, make sure that the fire pot is positioned correctly in its seat.
