Servicing schedule We recommend that periodical service is made by qualified technical personnel according to the frequency stated by national rules in force. As much as the dust present in the air will be sucked inside the combustion chamber, the smoke side resistance will increase, which, finally, will result in a reduced heat input (and conse- quently a reduced output).
