5.2. PERIODIC CLEANING BY A SPECIALISED
TECHNICIAN
5.2.1. Cleaning the exchanger and the pipe unit
Half-way through the winter season, but especially at the end, the
compartment through which the exhaust smoke passes will need to be
cleaned.
This cleaning process is compulsory
in order to facilitate the general
removal of all combustion residue, before the weather and humidity
compacts it and makes it tougher to remove.
CAUTION: For your safety, the frequency with which
the exhaust smoke system is cleaned depends on the
intensity of use of the stove.
5.2.1.1. CLEANING THE EXCHANGER AND PIPE
UNIT (PRIMULA/ORCHIDEA):
CLEANING THE UPPER COMPARTMENT
When the stove is cold, remove the top, remove the ceramics/ sides as
described in section.3.3., loosening the relative fastening screws before
removing the drivers “B” and then remove the boiler cover “C”. At this
point, remove the turbulators “D” and using a rigid rod or a bottle
brush, clean the internal pipe unit and the turbulators, removing all of
the accumulated ash.
Check the cover gasket and replace it if necessary
ATTENTION: It is advisable to carry out the cleaning of the
upper exchanger at the end of the season
and possibly by an
authorised technician in order to replace the gasket that is
below plug “C”. (fig.11).
CLEANING THE LOWER COMPARTMENT
Remove the ash drawer “G”, empty it and using the nozzle of a vacuum
cleaner remove any ash and soot that may have built up under the
drawer “G”. Also remove the grate “F” and clean it every 2/3 days as
explained in chap. 5.1.
Remove the drawer “E”, empty it and using the nozzle of a vacuum
cleaner remove any ash that may have built up in the housing of the
drawer “E”.
ATTENTION: It is advisable to carry out the cleaning of the
lower compartment “E” once a week and in any case
according to the fuel consumption.
