If the stove is not used for long periods, or at the end of each season, it is advisable to proceed as follows:
- remove all the pellets from the hopper;
- disconnect the power supply;
- clean thoroughly and, if necessary, have any damaged parts replaced by qualified personnel;
- protect the stove from dust with suitable covering;
- store in a dry and safe place protected from atmospheric agents.
5 STOVE CLEANING
Stove cleaning is very important to prevent: blackening of the glass, poor combustion, deposits of ash and unburnt
products in the brazier, reduced thermal efficiency.
The stove must only operate with the fire door closed.
The fire door seals must be checked periodically to prevent any air from entering; the combustion chamber and
pellet duct work in a negative pressure and the fume exhaust in a positive pressure.
Routine cleaning is normally carried out by the customer following the instructions in the manual, whereas
extraordinary maintenance, at least once a year, must be performed by the authorised Service Centre.
Cleaning operations for all parts must be carried out with the stove unplugged and cold;
Dispose of cleaning waste in accordance with the current local regulations;
The stove must not be operated without its cladding;
Avoid the creation of smoke and unburnt products during lighting and/or normal operation.
Given below are the control and/or maintenance operations for correct stove use and operation.

5.1 Cleaning the brazier
Remove the brazier and the ash deposited in the combustion chamber and brazier holder. A suitable vacuum
cleaner may be used for this purpose. This operation must be carried out daily, especially in case of accumulated
unburnt matter, to ensure perfect combustion conditions, since the brazier holes allow the flow of combustion air.

5.2 Cleaning the ash container

The ash container is located directly under the brazier - brazier holder. To clean it, open the fire door and remove the
ash and any combustion residuals using a suitable vacuum cleaner.
Close the door after cleaning. The ash container can be cleaned every 2-3 days depending on stove use.
