7 Cleaning and maintaining the
heating system
To ensure fault-free operation, certain cleaning and maintenance
work is necessary. This effort will help you avoid expensive repairs,
provided you maintain the recommended intervals.
The twice yearly and longer term cleaning and maintenance work
can be covered by a maintenance contract with an authorised
heating engineer.
7.1 Cleaning and maintenance schedule
The specified maintenance intervals are guidelines.
Depending on the quality of the pellets and the power used by the
heating system (more frequent on/off operation) the intervals may
be extended.
