16-RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFE USE ONLY CORRECT INSTALLATION AND APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OF THE APPLIANCE CAN GUARANTEE CORRECT OPERATION AND SAFE USE OF THE PRODUCT We would like to inform you that we are aware of cases of malfunctioning of domestic pellet-fuelled heating products, mainly due to incorrect installation and inappropriate maintenance.
17-CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Disconnect the product from the 230V power supply before performing any maintenance operation. DAILY OR WEEKLY CLEANING PERFORMED BY THE USER If the pellets in the tank run out, unburned pellets may accumulate in the brazier. Check the status of your brazier every 15 days. The automatic cleaning system means you don’t have to empty the brazier.
Page 41
17-CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE ASH PAN (if the trolley - optional - is not installed) In the standard boiler, that is without the trolley, you must remove the ash pan “M” and empty the ash at least once a week. To do so you must open the door of the boiler “A”, open the lower door “J”...
Page 42
17-CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE SMOKE EXTRACTOR COMPARTMENT In the area behind ash pan “M”, there is the smoke cap “E”, which must be removed to clean the smoke extractor. Therefore: • loosen the screws “s” • remove cap “E” Now, use the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner, remove any ash and soot that may have built up in the lower exchanger indicated by the arrow.
Page 43
17-CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE SMOKE EXPULSION SYSTEM AND GENERAL CHECKS Clean the smoke extractor system, especially around the “T” joints, elbows and any horizontal sections of the smoke duct. For information on periodically cleaning the flue, contact a skilled chimney sweep. Check the integrity of the ceramic fibre seals on the door of the boiler.

17-CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CHECKING THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS ATTENTION! The internal electromechanical components must only be checked by qualified personnel whose technical expertise includes combustion and electricity. We recommend that an annual maintenance service is carried out (with a scheduled service contract). This service is essentially a visual and functional inspection of the internal components.
18-FAULTS/CAUSES/SOLUTIONS ATTENTION: All repairs must be carried out exclusively by a specialised technician, while the boiler is completely cold and the electric plug is disconnected. ANOMALY POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS The pellets are not fed into the combustion The pellet hopper is empty Fill the tank with pellets chamber.
