1. Re assemble in reverse order First replace the screw cap on the cleaning access aperture and then tighten up the wing nuts to secure it in place In good operating conditions good dry wood adequate chimney draught correct air supply settings and sufficiently high flue gas temperatures only a small amount of dirt will gather and in that case the cleaning intervals can be considerably extended PIKO H 0 As the water heat exchanger cools the hot flue gas from the PIKO H O directly and deposits on the heat exchanger surfaces inevitably result these surfaces should be cleaned regularly using the integral cleaning system Cleaning should be carried out weekly or each time the ash pan is emptied to prevent the cleaning mechanism from seizing up due for instance to condensation sooting up because systems are not operating correctly components are missing etc The handle to operate the cleaning mechanism is packed with the stove at delivery For cleaning it should be inserted into the 20 mm hole at the top left hand side of the stove After inserting the handle turn it to the right and left about five times as far as it will go about 20 rotation If greater effort is needed to work the cleaning mechanism after an extended period of operation that indicates that the water heat exchanger is exces sively dirty In that case please check the wood mo
2. connecting pieces made from steel sheet at least 2 mm thick These must comply with DIN 1298 or DIN EN 1856 2 and they must be connected to the chimney in accordance with DIN 18160 or the regulations that apply in the country concerned It is important to ensure that the flue gas pipe takes the shortest possible route upwards towards the chimney The number of bends in the flue gas pipe should be kept to a minimum The stability of the flue gas pipe must be ensured If necessary it should be fastened in place with clips If the flue gas pipe passes through a combustible wall or if there are combustible building components nearby the pipe should be insulated in accordance with the regulations The connecting piping must always be installed in such a way that it can be cleaned at any time This should be ensured by providing an appropriate number of cleaning apertures If the stove is designed to rotate the connecting piping should be installed in such a way that the fastening is not compromised The flue gas pipe must not turn when the stove turns Depending on the information provided by the manufacturer the minimum distance from the chimney connecting piece to combustible building components may increase the distance between the stove and combustible building components The minimum distances from combustible components stated in this Manual refer to the stove itself and should be adapted if necessary refer to section 2 2 3 Fire Precautions on
