MAINTENANCE

Failure to clean and maintain this unit as indicated can result in poor performance and safety haz- ards.

Unplug your stove’s electrical cord prior to removing the back panel or opening the exhaust sys- tem for any inspection, cleaning, or maintenance work.

Never perform any inspections, cleaning, or maintenance on a hot stove.

Do not operate stove with broken glass , leakage of flue gas may result.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

The by products of combustion contain small particles of fly ash. Fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the stove will lead to soot formation which will collect in the exhaust system. Therefore, it is important that the exhaust system be inspected and cleaned at least monthly during the burning season.

Check the clean out tees periodically to determine the required cleaning schedule. 3 or 4-inch chimney brushes are available for chimney cleaning. If the exhaust system or outside air pipes have screens on them, frequently clean the screen. A plugged screen will shut off combustion air and cause a fire to die or burn poorly.

INTERIOR CHAMBERS

Periodically remove and clean the burn plate and the area inside the burn pot. In particular it is advisable to clean out the holes in the burn plate to remove any build up that may prevent air from moving through the burn pot freely. When replacing the burn plate, be sure that it is properly seated in the burn pot. (NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the burn pot for normal cleaning, if you do, you MUST replace the gasket that goes between the burn pot and firewall.)

Remove the firewall impingement plate and clean any ash that may have collected in the heat exchanger system.

If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ash removal. Some regular vac- uum cleaner (i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room.

ASH DISPOSAL

Remove the ash pan and dump the ash as needed. (NOTE: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Place the container on a non-combustible surface well away from all combustible materials. Retain all ash material in the container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.)

CHECK AND CLEAN THE HOPPER

Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any sawdust or pellets that are sticking to the hopper surface. Clean as needed.

MAIN DOOR GASKETS

Inspect the main door and glass window gaskets periodically. The main door may need to be removed to have frayed, broken, or compacted gaskets replaced by your Authorized “Ashley Heritage” Dealer.

FAN MOTORS

Clean the air holes on the motors of both the exhaust and room air fans annually. Remove the exhaust blower from the exhaust duct and clean out the internal fan blades as part of your fall start-up.

PAINTED SURFACES

Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp cloth. If scratches appear, or you wish to renew your paint, con-
