Seasonal Maintenance - EdilKamin ALPEN Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

SEASONAL MAINTENANCE

Consists in:
• Clean the stove internally and externally
• Carefully clean the heat exchange tubes
• Carefully clean and remove dirt from the combustion chamber and the relative compartment
• Clean fans, verify mechanical and clamp loosening
• Clean smoke channel (replace seals on smoke exhaust pipe)
• Clean smoke duct
• Check the expansion tank
• Check and clean the circulator
• Clean smoke extraction fan compartment.
• Clean smoke ow sensor.
• Clean smoke check thermocouple.
• Clean, inspect and scrape any residue from the ignition resistance compartment and if necessary, replace it
• Clean/check the Synoptic Panel
• Visually inspect the electrical wires, connections and power cable
• Clean the pellet hopper and check loosening of the feed screw - gear motor assembly
• Replace the door seal
• Functionality test: load the feed screw, ignite, let it run for 10 minutes and shutdown
If the boiler-stove is used very often, it is recommended to clean the smoke channel every 3 months.
After implementing a normal cleaning procedure, INCORRE CT coupling of the upper (A) ( gura 1) and lower (B) ( gura
1) combustion chambers can compromise the boiler-stove's performance.
Before igniting the boiler-stove, make sure the combustion chambers are correctly paired as indicated in ( g. 2) without
ash or unburnt material present on the support perimeter.

Cleaning the smoke duct
• With thermal stove off and cold, move the cleaning rods energetically (see page 40); loosen the two supplied screws to remove the
ceramic lower front panel, followed by the cast iron one ( g. D); open the right and left ues and vacuum out the residues ( g. E).
The amount of residue will depend on the type of fuel and system.
Failure to carry out this cleaning procedure may cause the thermal stove to block.
ONCE THE PROCEDURE IS IMPLEMENTED, ENSURE THAT THE INSPECTION HATCH IS CLOSED PROPERLY
