Cleaning and Maintenance

NOTE: Unplug the stove before performing any cleaning or maintenance

1.FIREPOT

A.It takes very little time to clean the firepot. We recommend that you clean the firepot at least once a week. However, if the fuel you are burning has a high dirt content, it will be necessary to clean the firepot more often. Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the firepot. A clinker is formed when dirt or a nonburnable substance is heated to 2000°F (1093°C) and becomes glass-like.

B.To clean the firepot:

1.Wait for stove to be in complete shutdown (exhaust blower off).

2.Pull firepot cleanout rod out, then ride back into the closed position.

3.Open front pedestal access door and empty ash tray.

NOTE: Do not allow cleanout rod to slam back into closed position. This may damage igniter.

NOTE: NEVER pull rod when stove is operating.

2. FIREBOX ASH REMOVAL

A.Clean as needed. When the stove is cool, remove ash and place it in a metal or noncombustible container. Place the container in a safe area, away from combustible materials.

NOTE: Embers remain hot for many days. Store in a safe place away from combustibles.

3.HEAT EXCHANGER MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

A.This stove has two heat exchange chambers. Each chamber is equipped with its own cleaning rod. To access the cleaning rods, simply lift the stove top up by the front approximately 5" (127mm) and secure the lid open with the support rod located on the right side (the stove top is hinged at the rear). Make sure the support rod drops into the receiver located directly under it on the far right side. Be sure the lid is properly secured before continuing. The end of each cleaning rod is located next to the face of the stove. Both rods are equipped with a receiver for the cleaning handle. To clean the heat exchangers, insert the cleaning handle into the receiver and pull straight out approximately 20" (508mm). Move the rod in and out a couple of times. After cleaning both heat exchangers, lift the stove top approximately 1" (25mm) and then slowly lower it back into position.

B.HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CLEAN THE HEAT EXCHANGER? The amount of ash buildup in the firepot will be a good guide to determine how often you should clean the heat exchanger. Every time you clean the firepot, clean the heat exchangers. This will keep your stove running at peak efficiency. Also, after burning approximately one ton of fuel, the ash will need to be removed from beneath the heat exchangers. To do this, remove the left side panel of the stove by loosening the four attachment screws. Pull out on the bottom of the panel and slide down from the two upper screws. Open the exhaust cleanout door with the T-handle provided and vacuum out the exhaust chamber. Then reinstall the exhaust door and side panel.

4.VENTING SYSTEM

The venting system should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year, or more often depending upon the quality of your fuel. If you are experiencing nuisance shutdowns, check for a clogged exhaust system. If the exhaust is restricted, the vacuum safety switch will shut the feed motor off (the red light will remain on).

5. DOOR HANDLE ADJUSTMENT

The door latch is adjusted by removing the nut on the back of the door latch. Remove the latch cam and square key, and add or subtract a washer to space the cam as needed.

6.BLOWERS

A.There are two blowers in this stove: an exhaust blower that vacuates the exhaust out of the firebox, and a convection blower that delivers heat into the room. THESE BLOWERS REQUIRE NO LUBRICATION.

B.The exhaust blower is located on the right side of the stove. To inspect it, remove the right rear pedestal access door.

NOTE: There is no need for annual cleaning.

C.The convection blower is accessible by removing the left rear pedestal access door. The impeller on this blower should be cleaned at least once a year. You can do this without removing the blower. Simply brush and vacuum the impeller area.

7.READING THE FIRE AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

A properly adjusted fire has a short active flame pattern that extends out of the firepot 4" to 6" (102mm to 152mm). If the fire has tall flames with black tails and seems somewhat lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done by sliding the feed adjustment plate down, which will reduce the feed. If the fire is not 4" to 6" (102mm to 152mm), slide feed plate up to increase the feed. Allow five minutes for feed adjustment to take effect.
