Check that there is no excessive ash accumulated under the burning pot compartment. If it exceeds 2 cm of height, we recommend
sucking it.
REMEMBER THAT ONLY A CORRECTLY POSITIONED AND CLEAN BRAZIER CAN GUARANTEE START-UP AND OPTI-
MAL OPERATION OF YOUR PELLET PRODUCT.
For the brazier to be cleaned properly, remove it from its housing completely and thoroughly clean all the holes and the grate on
the bottom.
If good quality pellets are used, you will normally only need to use a brush to restore the optimal operating conditions of the
component.
