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 use, as well as inadequate maintenance.
17-CLEANING EXAMPLE OF A CLEAN BRAZIER EXAMPLE OF A DIRTY BRAZIER Only by properly servicing and cleaning the product is it possible to ensure its safety and correct operation. ATTENTION! All the cleaning operations of all parts must be performed with the product completely cold and unplugged. Disconnect the product from the 230V power supply before performing any maintenance operation The product requires little maintenance if used with certified good quality pellets.
Page 63
17-CLEANING For the brazier to be cleaned properly, remove it from its housing completely and thoroughly clean all the holes and the grate on the bottom. If high quality pellets are used, you will normally only need to use a brush to restore the optimal operating conditions of the component.
Page 64
17-CLEANING PERIODIC CLEANING PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER Half-way through the winter season, but especially at the end, the compartment through which the exhaust smoke passes will need to be cleaned. This cleaning process is mandatory in order to facilitate the general removal of all combustion residue, before it becomes very difficult to remove it due to moisture compacting it over time.
Page 65
17-CLEANING CLEANING THE EXCHANGER CLEANING THE UPPER COMPARTMENT Clean the upper exchanger when the stove is cold and without cladding. After removing the cap to clean the lower compartment “n” (see previous paragraph), use a stiff rod or a bottle brush to scrape the walls of the firebox (see arrow) to make the ash fall into the lower compartment.

Then thoroughly clean the lower exchanger, replace any gaskets if needed, and reassemble. PERIODICAL CHECK OF THE DOOR CLOSURE Make sure the door closure ensures a correct sealing action (with the “paper sheet”...
Page 67
17-CLEANING CLEANING THE SMOKE DUCT AND GENERAL CHECKS Clean the smoke outlet system, especially around the Tee fittings, elbows and any horizontal sections of the smoke duct. For information on periodically cleaning the flue, contact a skilled chimney sweep. Check the seal of the ceramic fibre gaskets on the door of the stove. If necessary, order new replacement gaskets from the retailer or contact an authorised service centre to carry out the operation.
Page 68
17-CLEANING SHUTDOWN (end of season) At the end of each season, before switching the product off, it is recommended to remove all the pellets from the hopper with a vacuum cleaner with a long pipe. We recommend removing the unused pellets from the hopper because they can retain moisture. Disconnect any combustion air ducting that can lead to moisture inside the combustion chamber but, above all, ask the specialised technician to refresh the paint inside the combustion chamber with the special silicone spray paints (available at any store or Technical Assistance Centre) during the necessary annual end of season scheduled maintenance operations.
18-FAULTS/CAUSES/SOLUTIONS ATTENTION: All repairs must only be carried out by a specialised technician, with the product switched off and unplugged. ANOMALY POTENTIAL CAUSES SOLUTIONS The pellets are not fed into The pellet hopper is empty Fill the hopper with pellets. the combustion chamber.
