9. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
19
ENGLISH
BASIC INFORMATION
Your fire must be switched off and have cooled
down before carrying out maintenance.
The frequency with which your fire is to be
cleaned as well as maintenance intervals
depends on the fuel used.
High moisture content, ash, dust and chips
can more than double the required mainte-
nance intervals. We would therefore like to
point out once more that only tested and
approved wood pellets may be used as fuel.
Operating Handle
An operating handle is supplied with your
new pellet fire this is for opening or closing
the fire door. Please use this operating
handle for:
➧ Cleaning the fire grate
➧ Loosening the pellets in the container,
should they stick on the side walls.
Wood as Fertiliser
Approx. 1 - 2 % of wood minerals remain
as ash after burning. This ash is a natural
product and an excellent fertiliser for all
plants in the garden. However the ash
should be stored and „extinguished“ with
water beforehand.
Please take care: The ash may contain
embers, only put into metal containers.
ATTENTION! Only start maintenance when the
fire mains plug has been removed from the
socket.
CLEANING THE FIRE DOOR
The best way to clean the fire door glass is
with a damp cloth. Persistent dirt can be
removed with a special cleaning material
that can be purchased from your fire dealer.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST AIR FLUES
The flue gas channels are situated at the
side of the fire chamber (Picture 3).
➧ Remove the ceramic lid (Fig. 6, Part 50)
from the fire. Open the combustion
chamber door.
➧ Remove the wing nut (Fig. 5, Part 30) and
lift the flue gas shaft cleaning lid off (Fig.
5, Part 31). Do this on the left and right
hand side of the fire.
➧ Clean the heating gas flues on the com-
bustion chamber side using the soot
brush (Fig. 6).
➧ Remove the topmost combustion cham-
ber lid (Fig. 5, Part 33) by unscrewing the
4 wing nuts.
➧ Now vacuum the exposed interior cham-
ber and the side apertures clean from
soiling.
➧ Fit the parts in reverse order.

CLEANING THE FIRE GRATE
(Picture 2)
Check the fire grate to ensure that the air
feed openings are not blocked by ash or
clinker. The fire grate is easy to clean inside
the fire. The area underneath it can be
cleaned after the grate has been removed.
