BASIC INFORMATION
Your stove must be switched off and have coo-
led down before carrying out any maintenance
activities.
CAUTION: Only carry out maintenance when the
mains plug of the stove has been removed from
the socket.
The frequency with which your stove must
be cleaned as well as the maintenance
intervals depends on the fuel you use.
High moisture contents, ash, dust and chips
can more than double the necessary main-
tenance intervals. We would like to point
out once again that you should only use
tested and recommended wooden pellets
as a fuel.
Operating handle
Your new pellet stove comes with an
operating handle that is used for opening
or closing the grate door. Please use this
operating handle for:
➧
Cleaning the fire pan;
Loosening the pellets in the pellet
container should they stick to the side
walls;
Wood as a fertiliser
Wood mineral residue (approx. 1 -2%)
remains in the combustion chamber as ash.
This ash is natural product and is an
excellent fertiliser for all plants in the gar-
den. However the ash should be aged first
and "quenched" with water.
CAUTION: Embers may be hidden in the ash –
empty only into metal containers.
CLEANING THE FIRE PAN
(Fig 3)
The fire pan should be inspected to ensure
that ash or clinker does not block the air
feed openings. The fire pan can easily be
cleaned inside the stove. After removing
the pan the area underneath can be vacu-
umed clean.

is using a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt can be
