11.Door Latch Inspection

•Frequency: Periodically

•By: Homeowner

•Task:

To adjust, open the latch and pivot the holding rod out. Loosen the jam nut on the rod. With a Phillips head screw driver, turn the rod clockwise to tighten. The latch handle should snap securely in place when adjusted properly. After adjusting the latch, be sure to tighten the jam nut on the rod to hold the adjustment.

12. Door Gasket Inspection

•Frequency: Periodically

•By: Homeowner

•Task:

To inspect the door rope (gasket), open the door and see that the door rope extends approximately 1/8" (3mm) to 3/16" (9.5mm) from the door rope channel. It should show signs of compaction all the way around the door where the rope contacts the face of the insert. Confirm there are no air leaks.

13.Cleaning the Hopper

•Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel

•By: Homeowner

•Task:

After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up. A combi- nation of sawdust and pellets on the auger reduces the amount of fuel supply to the firepot. This can result in nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.

a.The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow the appliance to completely cool down.

bEmpty the hopper of any remaining pellets.

c.Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.

14.Cleaning Exhaust Blower - Requires No Lubrication

•Frequency: Yearly or as needed

•By: Quality Service Technician/Homeowner

•Task:: Contact your local dealer.

15.Cleaning Convection Blower - Requires No Lubrication

•Frequency: Yearly or as needed

•By: Qualified Service Technician

•Task: Contact your local dealer.

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

•Frequency: Yearly or as needed

•By: Qualified Service Technician/Homeowner

•Task:

The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust vent- ing system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. 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.

C. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance

•Frequency: As needed

•By: Homeowner

•Task:

Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create conditions that make the firepot fill quickly with ashes and clinkers. This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overfilling the firepot with pellets which may result in smok- ing, sooting and possible hopper fires. Figure 33.1 shows an example where the firepot overfills, pellets back up into the feed tube and ash has accumulated in the firebox. On page 33 Figure 33.2 illustrates an inefficient and non-eco- nomical method of burning of fuel caused by poor quality pellet fuel. Figure 33.3 is showing the correct flame size when good quality, premium pellet fuel is burned.

If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the firepot

IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.

Follow the detailed instructions found in this section for each step listed below.

•Shut down the unit by turning down the thermostat and allow unit to completely cool down. (Do not unplug the unit, it can cause smoke spillage in the room).

•Pull the heat exchanger cleaning rods. Section

10.7

•Empty the firepot. Section 10.2

•Clean the firebox. Section 10.4

•Empty the ash pan Section 10.3

•Dispose of the ashes. Section 10.6

•Restart the appliance with premium grade fuel.
