incrustations which could have formed, with particular attention to freeing clogged holes using a pointed
tool.
This operation is necessary in particular the first few ignitions, especially when using different quality
pellets. The timing of this operation is determined by the frequency of use and the choice of fuel. It is
advisable to also check the brazier support, emptying it of any ashes.
