15. Maintenance
15.1. Daily Maintenance
The Waterford Stanley free standing pellet fire unit requires careful maintenance. The most important thing is to remove the ash
from the pellet burning area at regular intervals. This can be easily done by using a simple household vacuum cleaner. It should
be cleaned after burning approximately 30 kg (K1200) / 60 kg (K1700 and K2300) of pellets.
Note: However, before cleaning, the power of the unit must be turned off and the unit should be allowed to cold off to prevent
any accident.
15.2. Weekly Maintenance
• K1200
To perform maintenance on the back boiler model, clean the airflow pipes. To do this, raise the lid on the top of the unit (Figure
33) and then lift the levers inside several times (Figure 33) to make the dirt accumulated inside the pipes fall out.

Then clean the inside of the unit using a steel brush on the surfaces where dirt has accumulated (Figure 34).
Figure 34 - Cleaning the interior
Then remove the burning basket (Figure 35-a) and the ash basket (Figure 35-b) and vacuum the ashes from both. The interior of
the unit must also be cleaned by opening the hatch, as shown in figure. Finally, assemble the parts in the reverse to which they
were removed and close the unit door.
