Sweeping
The Swedish Rescue Services Act specifies how often a
boiler is to be swept and at what intervals with regard to
the risk of soot fires. Sweeping carried out by a chimney
sweep includes all flue gas routes from the hearth to the
top of the chimney.
You can check the boiler’s fire-affected surfaces and flue
gas ducts yourself to determine how often the boiler
should be swept.
Gas, which contains tar substances, builds up in the wood
magazine. These substances condense on the walls of the
wood magazine and are later burned off. This means that
the walls of the wood magazine do not usually have to be
cleaned.
For optimum combustion and efficiency the boiler’s sec-
ondary combustion chamber should be cleaned after about
15 additions of wood.
The convection part is cleaned by removing the top soot
door (66), pulling up the turbulator and brushing clean.
This should be done a few times between chimney sweep
visits.
The compartment is cleaned from the front via the lower
door by pulling out the flame trough and brushing. Take
care to remove any coked ash residue in the trough.
Also see ”For the chimney sweep”, under ”Sweeping” .
Charge and circulation pump
If a charge or circulation pump is not in operation for an
extended period of time, it should be started from time to
time so that it does not jam.
Ash can still contain glowing embers after a
long period of time. Therefore, always use
a non-inflammable container when empty-
ing ash and soot.
NOTE!
