7.Cleaning the Hopper

•Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel, (aprx 50 bags) or when changing fuel types

•By: Homeowner

a. Be sure the wall control screen says OFF and the appliance is allowed to cool.

b.After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to clean the hopper to prevent sawdust and/or fi nes build- up.

c.A combination of sawdust/fi nes and pellets on the auger reduces the amount of fuel supply to the fi repot.

d.This can result in nuisance shut downs and misstarts

. •. Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.

•.Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.

9.Door Latch Inspection

•Frequency: Prior to heating season

•By: Homeowner

The door latch is non-adjustable but the gasketing between the glass and fi rebox should be inspected periodically to make sure there is a good seal. If the gasket is frayed or damaged, replace with a new one.

10.Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal in Exhaust Venting System.

•Frequency: Yearly or more frequently depending on fuel type or ash build-up

•By: Qualifi ed Service Technician/Homeowner

The products of combustion will contain small particles of fl y ash. The fl y ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the fl ow of the fl ue gases.

8.Cleaning the Glass

•Frequency: When clear view of fi repot becomes obscured

•By: Homeowner

a.Be sure the wall control screen says OFF and the appliance is allowed to cool.

b.Clean glass with a non-abrasive commercially available cleaner. Wipe down with dry towel.

CAUTION

Handle glass assembly with care.

When cleaning glass door:

•Avoid striking, scratching or slamming glass.

•Do NOT clean glass when hot.

•Do NOT use abrasive cleaners.

•Use a hard water deposit glass cleaner on white fi lm. Refer to maintenance instructions.

At start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there is a shutdown or incorrect operation of the appliance it will lead to some soot formation. This will collect in the exhaust venting system.

The venting system may need to be cleaned at least once a year or more often depending upon the quality of your fuel or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sec- tions. Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal sections.

11.Preparing Firebox for Non-Burn Season

•Frequency: At the end of heating season

•By: Homeowner

a.The appliance must be in complete shutdown, completely cool and the exhaust blower offf.

b.Remove all ash from the fi rebox and vacuum thor- oughly.

c.Paint all exposed steel, including cast-iron. Use the Touch-Up paint supplied with the appliance or purchase paint from your local dealer. You must use a high-temperature paint made specifi cially for heating appliances.

WARNING

Handle glass doors with care.

•Inspect the gasket to ensure it is undamaged.

•Do NOT strike, slam or scratch glass.

•Do NOT operate appliance with glass door removed, cracked, broken or scratched.
