5.5. Cleaning of the gas outlet circuit. Always with the boiler disconnected. (Very important).
For an optimal cleaning of the extractor's collector, it is recommended to dismantle the extractor itself in
order to have full access to this zone for a better cleaning. Once the extractor is dismantled, clean it with a
dry brush and be careful with the turbine and structure.
When reassembling the exhaust it is COMPULSORY to replace the exhaust joint with a new one as you run
the risk of gas entering in our home.

5.10. Cleaning of the pellets drop tube.
Use the brush provided by ECOFOREST to remove the dust until the end of the tube.
