Following the cleaning of the upper compartment of the exchange section, store the upper closure cover.
This cover must be closed, as well as with normal screws, with webbing in ceramic fiber rope to ensure
the watertight closure of the Thermostove. This general cleaning should be carried out at the end of the
season in order to facilitate the general removal of all residues of combustion, without waiting too long,
because with time and humidity these residues can become compacted. Check the seal of the ceramic
fiber gaskets on the door of the Thermostove. Then clean the flue system especially near the fittings to
"T" and any horizontal sections.
For your safety, the frequency of cleaning the smoke discharge system must be
determined on the basis of how the Thermostove is used.
In case of failure or inadequate cleaning of the heater may have function problems such as:
• poor combustion
• blackening of the glass
• clogging of grate with accumulation of ash and pellets
• ash deposit and excessive deposits on the heat exchanger resulting in poor performance.
The check of electromechanical components must be performed only by qualified personnel
with technical knowledge of electricity and combustion.
Cleaning instructions
All cleaning operations of all parts must be carried out with the stove completely cold and with the
electrical plug disconnected.
Before carrying out any maintenance on the stove, take the following precautions:
• make sure that all parts of the stove are cold;
• make sure that the ashes are completely extinguished;
• make sure that the main switch is in the OFF position;
• disconnect the plug from the socket, thus avoiding accidental contact;
• at the end of the maintenance phase, check that everything is in order as before the intervention
(the brazier placed correctly).
