lets that are now laid bare.

FLUE GAS BOX
Clean the flue gas box that sits behind the
heat exchangers in the same way. To do this
the right hand rear cladding is removed and
the cleaning lid (see Fig. 3, Part 8) unscre-
wed.
If the outlet openings are blocked, then
these must be freed and vacuumed (if
required).
ASHTRAY
Empty the ashtray as required. It must only
be removed from the fire, when the fire is
switched off and cooled down.
WOOD ASH AS A FERTLISER
Wood mineral percentages (approx. 1 - 2%)
remain as combustion remains as ash in the
combustion chamber. This ash is natural
product and is an excellent fertiliser for all
plants in the garden. However the ash
should be aged first and “quenched” with
water.
Please TAKE CARE: Embers can be hidden in
the ash - only fill into metal containers.
Vacuuming using the RIKA ashbox is
recommended to remove the ash.

Rear Ash Chamber
Remove the rear ash trap door located
behind the right side rear panel. Vacuum
the chamber that extends across to the
combustion motor housing. Pay close
attention to the pass through holes coming
from the front of the heat exchanger area and
make sure they are clean and clear from any
obstruction. If these holes are blocked the
unit will not operate properly and might not
run at all. This should be checked for every 1
ton of fuel to see if the cleaning intervals
might be increased or decreased. Fuel
quality and extended low burn rates will
increase the frequency required.

damp cloth or stubborn dirt can be removed
