2. Maintenance
Before carrying out any maintenance take the following precautions:
•
Make sure that the fire has been turned off, and that the power supply has been disconnected
(Ensure that the plug is disconnected from the socket, thus avoiding accidental electric shocks).
•
Make sure that all parts of the pellet heater are cold.
•
Make sure that the ashes have cooled completely.
•
Always use appropriate tools for maintenance.
•
When you have finished re-install all safety guards before using the pellet heater again.
The pellet heater requires little maintenance if quality wood pellets are used which is why we
recommend pellet fuel that is manufactured to the AS/NZS4014.6.
a) Cleaning the surfaces
To clean the surfaces on the painted metal parts, use a damp cloth.
Important: the use of aggressive detergents or abrasive cleaners can damage the surfaces of the
stove. Do not clean with paint thinners or solvents.
b) Cleaning the fire pot before and after each lighting
You must check that the fire pot before and after each lighting. Ensure it is clean and that
no waste or residue blocks the holes, in order to always guarantee excellent combustion of the
stove. This will help avoid possible overheating, which could cause changes in the colour of
the paint, as well as failure to light the stove.
Only a clean fire pot can guarantee that the pellet stove will function without problems. During
operation, deposits may be formed, which have to be immediately eliminated. It is easy to see
when the fire pot has to be cleaned! It only needs a glimpse, each day, before switching on. For
minor cleaning, it can be left in the stove, but if the residue is difficult to remove, it has to be
extracted from its housing and the waste scraped out.
The residue of ash depends on the quality of pellets used. Important: even with a new batch of
pellets, although using the same brand, there may be differences during combustion and therefore
they may burn more or less cleanly.
Correct daily cleaning will allow the pellet heater to burn properly with high performance avoiding
problems in the long term which could require the intervention of a technician to repair the pellet
heater.
