CLEANING THE EXCHANGER AND PIPE UNIT (GARDENIA/MARGHERITA)
CLEANING THE UPPER COMPARTMENT
When the stove is cold, remove the top, remove the ceramics/sides, by loosening the relative fastening screws before removing the drivers
“B” and then remove the boiler cover “C” At this point, remove the four 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”. (g.12).
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”. Remove the brazier “F” and clean it every 2/3 days.
Loosen the screws and remove the plug “E” and using the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner, remove any ash and soot that may have built up in
the exchanger “H”.
ATTENTION: It is advisable to clean the lower compartment “E” once a week and in any case according to the fuel
consumption.
Check the seal of the ceramic bre gasket on the plug and replace it if necessary. Check the seal of the door gasket and replace it if
necessary.
At the end of the season one must clean the compartment under the brazier and the inside of the heat exchanger.
This general cleaning should be carried out at the end of the season in order to facilitate the general removal of all combustion residues,
without waiting too long, because with time and humidity these residues can become compacted.
CLEANING THE SMOKE DUCT AND GENERAL CHECKS:
Clean the smoke exhaust, especially around the T-ttings, curves and any horizontal sections. For information on cleaning
the ue, contact a chimney sweeper.
Check the seal of the ceramic bre gaskets on the door of the stove. If necessary, order new replacement gaskets from the retailer or
contact an authorized service centre to carry out this task.
