7.2. PERIODIC CLEANING BY A SPECIALISED
TECHNICIAN
7.2.1. Cleaning of the heat exchanger
After the winter you will need to clean the compartment where
discharge smoke passes.
This cleaning must
be done in order to remove all combustion residues
before time and humidity let them harden and make them difficult to
remove.
CLEANING THE EXCHANGER:
CLEANING THE UPPER COMPARTMENT - KAIKA STOVE
When the stove is cool lift cover “D” and remove in sequence:
profile “C”, sides “B” and top “A” as explained in section.3.3.1.
Remove cover “E” which is secured to the structure by four screws
(two at the front and two at the rear), then slide out the insulation
panel “F” and remove the panel “G” unscrewing the two screws on the
right and the two screws on the left.
The underlying surface features a small plate “H” secured by two
screws, remove this piece too and access the inspection hole for
cleaning (see arrow).
Using a stiff rod or a bottle brush, scrape the inner walls of the fire box
so that the ashes drop into the lower ash compartment. Clean and refit
all the components.
