Figure 2.8. Detaching the front panel of the heat exchanger; The next step is to unscrew the fixing nuts of the lid, which closes the secondary ash deposition zone of the three way flue gas duct of the heat exchanger. Notice that the lid is tightened in order to prevent and flue gases leakage or ambient air both in and out of the flue gas duct.

After the burner’s grate has been thoroughly cleaned, it is necessary to clean the ash beneath the grate. EXPLANATION : the burner’s grate is detached by lifting and alongside pulling action. It is possible to have difficulties when detaching the grate due to the deposited ash and eventually any thermal deformation of the details.

Attachment and assembly of the elements, detached at the ash cleaning procedure The attachment procedure should be done in reverse sequence of the steps, depicted in the previous sections of the manual. ATTENTION: it is necessary to ensure air-tightness if the lids of the flue gases duct of the boiler (these are the lid of the ash deposition secondary zone, as well as the top lid, covering the flue gases duct of the heat exchanger), in order to ensure high reliability and efficiency of the appliance.
