Scraper Use (In The Models That Incorporate It); Cleaning The Ash Pan; Ash Pan Door And Combustion Chamber Seals; Cleaning The Chimney - Bio Bronpi HYDRO Série Instructions D'installation, D'utilisation Et D'entretien

8.2 SCRAPER USE (IN THE
MODELS THAT INCORPORATE IT)
The smoke chamber cleaning allows
guarantee the thermal power is constant
over its lifetime. This operation must be
made at least once a day. To do it just
use the scrapers placed on the top of the
thermo-stove, moving up to down and vice
versa several times. To do this movement
softly you must use both scrapers at the
same time (see drawing D14).
8.3

CLEANING THE ASH PAN

The ash pan should be emptied when necessary. The thermo-stove should not be working without having the
ash pan inside.
8.4

ASH PAN DOOR AND COMBUSTION CHAMBER SEALS

The seals ensure the thermo-stove air tightness and, thus, a proper performance (see drawing D16).
It is necessary to check them regularly; if they are worn-out or damaged they should be replaced
immediately. You can find ceramic cord and self-adhesive fibre at the same Bronpi distributor where you
bought your thermo-stove.
These operations should be done exclusively by an authorised technician.
An authorised technician must do the maintenance at least once a year.
8.5

CLEANING THE CHIMNEY

When the pellet is burnt slowly, it produces tar deposits and other organic vapours that combined with the humidity to create soot (creosote).
An excessive accumulation of soot may cause problems in the smoke outlet and the flue may catch fire if not maintained.
The cleaning should only be made when the equipment is cold. A chimney sweep should perform this task and, at the same time, examine
the smoke duct (it is recommended to write down the dates of every cleaning and keep a register of them).
8.6

CLEANING THE GLASS

IMPORTANT:

Clean the glass only when it is cold in order to avoid possible explosion. You can use specific products. You can find Bronpi
vitroceramic-cleaning product at the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your stove (see drawing D17).
BREAKAGE OF GLASSES. The glasses, as they are vitro ceramic, resist until 750ºC and they are not subject to thermal
shocks. The breakage can only be caused by mechanical shocks (crashes or violent closing of the door, etc). Therefore, its
replacement is not included in the warranty.
8.7

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Do not clean the external surface of the thermo-stove with water or abrasive products because they may
damage the stove. Use a feather duster or a rag a bit wet.
8.8

CLEANING THE ASH RESERVOIRS

To keep the validity of the guarantee it is mandatory to do the register cleaning by an
technician authorised by Bronpi Calefacción, who will write down the statement made.
It involves cleaning the ash reservoir of your thermo-stove such as smoke zones.
First of all whole inside of the combustion chamber must be cleaned, soot removed from chamber walls
because this makes thermal efficiency higher, the surfaces need to be brushed thoroughly with a wire brush to
clean of the dirt (see drawing D18).
It is also necessary to clean the heat exchanger chamber, because the soot makes it difficult for the smoke to circulation. To access to this
zone you must remove the top of the thermo-stove and then do the next operations:
- Remove the scraper knobs in order to remove the cover (see drawing D19).
- Remove the reservoir cover unscrewing the different screws (see drawing D19).
- Clean the ashes deposited on the top (see drawing D20).
- Replace the pieces.
- Check the seal integrity of the reservoir.
