Sooting
To get the best performance from your Effecta boiler, it is important to clean it on regular basis. In
winter time it´s appropriate to clean it once a week, in summer once a month.
• Start by removing the stainless stick which lies on top of the
ceramics. Remove bits of logs and coal through the opening be-
tween the ceramics. The walls in the grate is usually covered with
a thin layer of tar. There is no need to remove this.
• Then remove the rear top plate and the ash hatch.
Remove the 7 turbulators and use the appurtenant
brush to clean the tubes.
• Then open the lower front door, pull out the afterburner and
empty it from ash. This should be done every third warm up
to get the most out your boiler. Then scrape out the dirt in the
space beneath the ceramics.
When cleaning the boiler, you might also clean the fan. Remove
the wing nuts at the fan and pull the fan out from the boiler.
Clean the wheel from dust and soot. If not properly cleaned the boiler will detoriate and burn
with lower efcency. Cleaning of the fan should normally be done 3-4 times/year.
Annual Service
Every year you should do a more thorough control of the
boiler, a good time to do this is before winter, when the
boiler will be used more frequently.
Start by controlling the combustion zone and ceramics. In
the interspace between the ceramics is metall plate with
holes (seen from under), remove dust and other objects.
Control the seals in the doors, they must not leak.
Remove the lambda sond and clean it from ash and soot.
