INSTRUCTIONS
The boiler must be cleaned regularly. Lack of cleaning can result in malfunctioning and
reduced life.
Clean the flue gas collection box and the heat exchanger pipes twice a month with the
brush. Insert the brush into each heat exchanger pipe and work back and forth
thoroughly.
Push the brush all the way through, but be careful not to damage the bottom plate
underneath. A rotating cleaning brush for a drill (min. 400 watt) is available as an
optional extra. This enables easier and more effective cleaning. Clean heat exchanger
pipes and a clean flue gas collection box mean better operating economy.
Clean the combustion chamber/filling chamber once or twice a month. From the top
filling door, scrape the ash through the fire gap with the scraper. The ash is then scraped
D
out forwards from the ash door on to the boiler floor, and then out into the ash box.
Extra walls
Extra walls are fitted in the filling chamber (C - Fig. 1.7.2). These should be taken off
once a month and any deposits behind them cleaned.
The ventilation holes in each side should be kept open.
Fig. 1.7.2
The impeller (A - Fig. 1.7.2) must be inspected regularly and cleaned as necessary with
a stiff brush (about four times a year).
Please check carefully – even a thin coating significantly reduces the air flow and
must be removed.
When the exhaust stack is connected vertically directly under the chimney, the fan must
always be removed and cleaned after each cleaning of the chimney.
N.B. If the fan motor is blocked because of lack of cleaning, the motor can be ruined.
The primary air channels (on both sides of the boiler) can occasionally become blocked.
Before the air channels can be cleaned, the diffuser (A - Fig. 1.7.2) must first be
removed (4 nuts). The air channels can be cleaned with the brush provided. The diffuser
should be reinstalled with care. Remember the seal.
The ash from the heat exchanger pipes and the combustion chamber is scraped out
through the ash door and into the ash box with the aid of the scraper provided (or a
vacuum cleaner may be used).
Soot on the casing and the doors can be removed with a cleaner containing ammonium
chloride and acetic acid. Clean the casing regularly as required to preserve the boiler's
appearance.
