TECHNICIAN
5.2.1. Cleaning of the heat exchanger
Halfway through the winter, but especially in the spring, you will
need to clean the compartment where discharge smoke passes.
This cleaning must
be done in order to remove all combustion residues
before time and humidity let them harden and make them difficult to
remove.
CLEANING OF HEAT EXCHANGER:
CLEANING THE UPPER COMPARTMENT
With the stove cold remove the cast iron top “A”, remove the sides as
indicated in. Par. 3.3, remove the back “F”, remove the protection
guard of the top “B ” by loosening the fastening screws, take off the
cast iron front top “C”. At this point remove the plug (by unscrewing
the screws) “E”, remove the exchanger D and access the inspection
hole for cleaning (see arrow): Using a stiff rod or a bottle brush, scrape
the inner walls of the fire box so that the ashes drop into the part
below “H”.
CLEANING THE LOWER COMPARTMENT
Remove the ash drawer “G” , unscrew the screws and remove the plug
“E” and with the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner to remove the soot and
ash which has accumulated in the exchanger “H”. Also remove the
grate “F” and clean it every 2/3 days as explained in chap. 5.1
It is worthwhile to carry out the cleaning of the upper exchanger at the
end of the season and possibly by an authorised MCZ technician in
order to replace the gaskets that are below plug “C” and “E”
CLEANING OF SMOKE DUCT AND GENERAL CHECKS:
Clean the smoke discharge system, especially in the area of the tee
connectors, curves and any horizontal stretches of pipe.
For information on cleaning the flue pipe, contact a professional
chimney sweep.
Check the seal of the ceramic fibre gaskets on the door of the stove. If
necessary, order new gaskets from the retailer for replacement or
contact an authorized service centre to carry out this work.
ATTENTION:
The frequency with which the smoke discharge
system is cleaned should be determined based on the
type of use that is made of the stove and the type of
installation.
MCZ suggests relying on an authorized service centre
for end-of-season cleaning and maintenance, who
will carry out all of the previously mentioned work
and make a general check of the stove's components.
