4.2.5 Periodic inspection and cleaning (~3000)
The boiler must be cleaned and inspected at appropriate intervals depending on the
service hours and fuel quality.
For fuels with a low ash content (standard wood chips), annual cleaning and
inspection (2000 to 2500 service hours) is usually sufficient. For less efficient fuels
and fuels with a high ash content (indicated by short emptying intervals for the ash
container), the work should be carried out more frequently accordingly.
WARNING
