12.Cleaning and maintenance
12.1 Forewords
The stove requires a simple yet constant cleaning to guarantee top efficiency and proper functioning.
Constant maintenance by a qualified technician is recommended.
The stove should be cleaned before the cold season because it can sometimes get clogged during the summer (by nests
for example) preventing exhaust fumes to flow regularly.
At the beginning of the season and in case of wind, a build-up of residue in the pipe may lead to fires. Should this
happen, find below a few pieces of advice to follow:
- Block air supply to the pipe immediately;
- Throw sand or kitchen salt, and not water, to extinguish fire and coals;
- Keep objects and furniture away from the burning pipe.
THE YEARLY CLEANING OF THE VENT PIPE IS THEREFORE FUNTAMENTAL TO PREVENT THIS
FROM HAPPENING
N.B.:
- USE A DRY CLOTH TO CLEAN THE STOVE EXTERNALLY
- THE AUGER TUBE MUST BE COMPLETELY EMPTIED FROM PELLETS WHEN USING THE STOVE
FOR THE LAST TIME AT THE END OF THE SEASON. THE AUGER TUBE MUST REMAIN EMPTY TO
PREVENT IT FROM GET CLOGGED BY SAWDUST RESIDUES SOLIDIFIED DUE TO MOISTURE.
12.2 Daily cleaning
Any cleaning operation must be performed when the stove is completely cold. Remove the ash inside firebox
and on door. Lift up and remove the burn pot. Then empty and clean it.
N.B.
USE A DRY CLOTH
TO CLEAN THE STOVE
EXTERNALLY
