8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Basic information
Note
Ensure that you do not vacuum into the combustion air line during heating
operation during any cleaning (vacuuming). You could vacuum out embers –
FIRE RISK!
Note
SERVICE appears on the display after consumption of 700 kg pellets. Cleaning
and maintenance is to be performed.
This message can be acknowledged by pressing ENTER and operation can
be continued. The number of SERVICE messages is stored in the background.
Note
Your stove must be switched off and cooled before any maintenance work is
performed. Only work on the unit when the mains plug has been disconnected.
The frequency with which the stove requires cleaning and the maintenance
intervals depend on the fuel you use. High moisture content, ash, dust and chips
may more than double the maintenance required. We would like to again point
out that only tested and recommended pellets or logs may be used as fuel.
Tip
Wood as fertiliser - the mineral content of the wood remains in the combustion
chamber as ash as a residue of the combustion. This is an excellent fertiliser
for all plants in the garden; it is a completely natural product. The ash should
be stored first and slaked with water.
Note
Ash may contain embers – only place ash in sheet steel containers!
Open the combustion chamber door
To open or close the combustion chamber door and the ash-chamber door use
the included key. This key can be stored on the back of the stove when not in
use.
Cleaning the fire trough
Despite the automatic ash dumping prior to and during heating operation, care
should be taken that the air intake openings are not blocked with ash or clinker.
Remove the clinker using the brush supplied and vacuum out the fire trough.
Do not damage the ignition when cleaning with the brush.
Note
Clean the fire trough regularly. Only clean when cold, when embers are
extinguished!
Note
If the stove is heated in continous operation, it must be cleaned 2x within 24
hours. FIRE HAZARD!
Cleaning the flame temperature sensor
Remove the dust deposits from the sensor at regular intervals. Use a clean
cleaning cloth or newspaper.
Empty the ash drawer
Empty the ash drawer regularly. The ash drawer is simply pulled forward with
the ash-chamber door open.
Cleaning the door glass
The viewing window becomes coated in the case of solid fuels, particularly with
the very fine ash of wood pellets, light or dark depending on the pellet quality
(especially with low output). The glass can be cleaned best with a moist cloth.
Stubborn dirt can be removed with a special cleaner available from your stove
dealer. Usual cleaners containing acid or solvents can be too harsh and damage
the glass.
Cleaning painted surfaces
Wipe of the painted surfaces with a damp cloth, do not scrub. Do not use
solvent-containing cleaners.
