Routine maintenance
Soot and ash on the inside walls of the boiler and on the refractory bricks reduces the transfer of heat. However, during
the operation of a boiler with wood gasification less ash is produced than during heating with conventional boilers.
Remove the ash from the combustion chamber every 1-2 days, and in any case before it is full, so as to leave sufficient
space for combustion.
B
If the ash is still hot, use protective gloves.
Put the ash in a non-flammable container provided with a lid.
Carry out thorough cleaning at least once a week:
• Open the loading door and brush the combustion residuals in the ash compartment through the opening between
the burner plates.
• Clean the inside walls of the combustion chamber with a brush
• Remove the loose soot and ash from the combustion chamber.
• Check perfect door closure seal. Also make sure there is no tar or condensate dripping from the smokebox.
B
Do not clean the burner plates with a wire brush, as they may become damaged.
Extraordinary maintenance
Clean the fume ducts once a month:
• Remove the top cover of the casing
• Open the inspection door at the back of the boiler (see fig. 6).
• Remove the turbulators and clean the fume ducts with a tube brush.
