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!
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!
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!
Cleaning the flue pipes
(annually)
Remove the flue pipes. Inspect and clean the chimney connection. Brush off any
soot and dust deposits in the fire and in the flue pipes and vacuum.
Note
Accumulated fly ash in the flue gas channels may impair the performance of
the stove and pose a safety risk.
