MaintenanceBefore carrying out any maintenance operation on the stove, please take the following precautions:- Make sure that all the parts of the stove are cold- Make sure that the ashes are completely extinguished- Make sure that the general switch is in the zero position (off)- Make sure that the plug is disconnected from the socket, thus avoiding accidental contacts.11.1. Cleaning the surfacesTo clean the surfaces on the painted metal parts, use a wet cloth in water or at the most, water and soap.Important: the use of aggressive detergents or diluents can damage the surfaces of the stove.11.2. Cleaning the fire pot before each ignitionYou must check that the fire pot, where the combustion takes place, is clean and that no waste or residue blocks the holes, in order toalways guarantee excellent combustion of the stove, thus avoiding possible overheating, which could causes changes in the colour ofthe paint or flaking of the door. as well as failing to light the stove.Only a clean fire pot guarantees that the pellet stove functions without problems. During functioning deposits may be formed.It is easy to see when the fire pot has to be cleaned! It only needs a glimpse, each day, before switching on. For minor cleansing, it canbe left in the stove, but if the residue is difficult to remove, it has to be extracted from its housing and the waste scraped out.The residue of ash depends on the quality of pellets used.Important: even with a new batch of pellets, although using the same brand, there may be differences during combustion and thereforethey may dirty to a greater or lesser extent.Correct cleaning, done on a daily basis, allows the stove to burn optimally and to have a good yield, avoiding malfunctioning which in thelong term could require technical assistance to reset the stove.11.3.
