9. CLEANING

Tip
Your RIKA dealer will gladly advise you about their service and
maintenance offers.
Depending on pellet consumption, a message prompting cleaning of
the stove appears on the display in regular intervals. This message
can be acknowledged on the Touch Display, while continuing
operation. Perform a cleaning cycle at the next opportunity.
Subsequently, reset the counter in the SETTINGS menu / RESETS
submenu, as per operating instructions of TOUCH DISPLAY.
Tip
The message will only stop reappearing once you have reset the
feed volume in the SETTINGS / Resets menu.
Note
Your stove must be switched off and cooled before any maintenance
work is performed. Only work on the unit when the mains plug has
been disconnected.

Cleaning the convection air openings

Vacuum clean any dust deposits from the convection air openings
at regular intervals.
The stove should be cleaned thoroughly prior to the start of the
heating season to prevent excess odour.
Note
To prevent your stove from overheating of the internal components,
do never cover the convection fins!

Bearings

(annually)
All built-in bearings (pellet screw) should be checked. Clean or
replace bearings depending on condition.

Checking door seal

(annually)
The condition of the seals at doors and glass should be checked at
least once a year. Repair or replace seals depending on condition.
Note
Only intact seals ensure your stove works perfectly!

Combustion air - intake

If necessary, please also clean the air intake with a hoover.
Note
Only when the stove is cold! You could vacuum out embers – FIRE
RISK!

Cleaning the pellet container

Do not refill the completely empty container immediately; remove
the residues (dust, chippings etc.) from the empty container. The unit
must be disconnected from the mains!
Cleaning the flue gas channels and flue
gas collecting duct
The flue gas channels are situated under and beside the combustion
chamber.
Lift the convection fin straight up.
Loosen the wing nut on the lid of the cleaning opening, tilting the
eyescrew sidewards. Open the lid as far as the stop.
Now clean the flues and baffles with the supplied brush. Vacuum the
combustion residues with a vacuum cleaner.
Open the combustion chamber door and remove the two wing
screws. Open the front cover panel.
