Important: the use of aggressive detergents or diluents can damage the
surfaces of the stove.
9.2. Cleaning the fire pot before and after each lighting
You must check that the fire pot, where the combustion takes place, is
clean and that no waste or residue blocks the holes, in order to always
guarantee excellent combustion of the stove, thus avoiding possible
overheating, which could causes changes in the colour of the paint or
flaking of the door. as well as failing to light the stove.

Only a clean fire pot can guarantee that the pellet stove functions without
problems. During functioning. deposits may be formed, which have to be
immediately eliminated.
It is easy to see when the fire pot has to be cleaned! It only needs a
glimpse, each day, before switching on. For minor cleansing, it can be left
in the stove, but if the residue is difficult to remove, it has to be extracted
from its housing and the waste scraped out.
The residue of ash depends on the quality of pellets used.
Important: even with a new batch of pellets, although using the same
brand, there may be differences during combustion and therefore they
may dirty to a greater or lesser extent.
Correct cleaning, done on a daily basis, allows the stove to burn optimally
and to have a good yield, avoiding malfunctioning which in the long term
could require technical assistance to reset the stove.
9.3. Cleaning the FIREX 600
All Ravelli products have a combustion chamber made with FIREX 600,
a material based on vermiculite, the result of research and development
by Ravelli. The main features of FIREX 600 are resistant to heat, its
lightness and excellent insulating capacities, improving the combustion
and performance of the stove.
During combustion, FIREX 600 turns white, due to an effect called
PYROLYSIS, making the flame clear and shining. If the combustion is
regulated in an optimal way, the FIREX 600 interior always remains clean
and white.
The condition of FIREX 600 is therefore a thermometer to understand
whether the combustion is good or not.
FIREX 600 LIGHT – EXCELLENT COMBUSTION
FIREX 600 DARK – POOR COMBUSTION
Firex 600 does not require special maintenance, it only has to be dusted
with a brush to remove the ash that is deposited during combustion.
Abrasive sponges to clean to most resistant waste should not be used
as they could compromise the thickness of the FIREX600 panel, creating
critical points of breakage.
The tube of the vacuum cleaner should not be used in direct contact with
FIREX 600.
Wet cloths should not be used to clean FIREX 600.
FIREX 600 is resistant to heat but not to knocks; handle with care if moved.
FIREX 600 may show a slight abrasion after a few hours of functioning,
this is perfectly normal as the flame creates microgrooves in the panel
without compromising it.
The duration of FIREX 600 depends only on how maintenance is carried
out.
The pellet stove is a generator of heat with a solid fuel and as such
requires servicing by qualified personnel at least once a year at the start
of the season. This maintenance has the purpose of ascertaining and
ensuring the perfect efficiency of all the components.
We recommend you draw up an annual contract for maintenance of the
product with your installer/dealer.
