sticking during combustion process, it may lead to agglomeration and slug forming in
the area of retort rim and combustion chamber wall. In such a case, the obstacle
should be pushed down into an ash drawer. Systematic maintenance extends boilers
life and its auxiliary equipment. Cleaning the chimney duct is not less important.
NOTE: At least a month the quantity of slung in retort should be controlled. If
required, put out a boiler and clean retort-furnace.

END OF HEATING SEASON
Once heating season is finished, or when switching off the boiler is scheduled, the
controller should be then switched off and the glowing batch should be removed from
retort and push into ash box chamber.
Once boiler is out and cooled down, remove from the furnace all remains of
burned fuel and apply cleaning and conservation of the entire boiler. Pay special
attention to lubricate inner partitions of combustion chamber and all movable
elements with oil.
For the period of brake time, water should not be drained out of boiler and
installation. In the controller manual mode, switch on a feeder allowing it to slide the
glow into ash container.
If the boiler is not employed, once a week a feeder mechanism should be put to
work. This preserve the screw elements not to be blocked inside a pipe.
NOTE: it is not allowed to put out the fire with water when in the boiler’s room!
