Before starting with the cleaning and /or maintenance, the appliance must be shut<br />
down and disconnected from the mains (Emergency - OFF). Allow the appliance to<br />
cool down – nevertheless we advise you to be careful – some components in the<br />
fire chamber can still be hot. It is likely that there are still embers in the ash. At no<br />
time should you put unburnt material from the firebox into the storage container<br />
– danger of spontaneous ignition.<br />
When burning solid fuel, ash and soot are generated, therefore cleaning and<br />
maintenance are necessary at regular intervals. If these are omitted, malfunctioning<br />
will occur which will be excluded from our liabilty.<br />
Only a clean and properly adjusted appliance is an economical heating appliance.<br />
How often cleaning is required depends on the operating period, the output of<br />
the appliance and on the pellet quality. Wood pellets contain non-combustible<br />
components (mineral nutrients) which are left behind in the form of ash. Depending<br />
on the operating period, the output of the appliance and on the pellet<br />
quality it is likely that the viewing window becomes cloudy which can range<br />
from light to coal black. This is a natural process which happens when burning<br />
biomass and does not represent a flaw. To minimize the sootingup (also if the<br />
stove is in permanent use for several days), the viewing window will be ‚airwashed’<br />
(airwash system).<br />
Before cleaning, wait until the appliance is cool down. So you prevent yourself<br />
from embers and hot components.<br />
Fire hazard !<br />
Cleaning firebox (figure 66)<br />
• Clean firebox with the aid of the supplied cleaning utensil.<br />
• Remove deposits on the pellet burner block and flame temperature sensor by<br />
means of the supplied cleaning brush.<br />
Vacuum-cleaning firebox<br />
Allow the appliance to cool down completely and use vacuumcleaner only in<br />
combination with an ‘ash box’– Fire hazard!!<br />
Cleaning pelets storage container<br />
Remove deposits (dust etc.) from the auger and storage container.<br />
Cleaning oven (figure 67-69)<br />
• Lift cooking plate.<br />
• Remove deposits from the interior of the stove blagerungen.<br />
• Open cleaning access panel and remove cleaning access cover.<br />
• Remove ash with the supplied ash scraper.<br />

Do not clean with sharp objects!!<br />
Remove deposits from the appliance, in particular from the pellet burner block by<br />
means of the cleaning brush provided. For details see “Cleaning…”.<br />
The extract fan casing for the pellets module is fitted at the bottom of the oven<br />
module. Do not sweep deposits into the interior of the casing. Do not clean the<br />
extract fan casing with sharp objects! This would result in the fan wheel being<br />
damaged.<br />
