VACCUM USE

If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ashes.

Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room. Your vacuum or shop vac may have a special filter or bag available to eliminate this leakage.

CLEANING

a.Heat Exchange Tubes – Your ECO-35 stove is designed with a built-in heat exchanger tube cleaner. This should be used weekly to remove accumulated ash on the tubes. Slide the cleaning rod back and forth two or three times from front to back (refer to figure 18). When finished, push the cleaning rod back in.

b.Baffle: Remove the baffle and scrape off ashes. Slide both sides toward the center to remove the baffle(Figure 20) Use a vacuum is necessary. In some cases, you will need to remove creosote on the baffle, which can accumulate rapidly under certain conditions. A small wire brush can be used. It is important to remove this creosote because it is highly combustible and could cause premature corrosion.

*When replacing the baffle, make sure that the open side of the baffle is located on the left.

c.Chamber walls: Periodically, you must vacuum the ashes that may have accumulated on the main walls of the combustion chamber. START BY REMOVING THE DECORATIVE MASONRY-LIKE PANELS, WHICH ARE SIMPLY HELD BY CLIPS. The use of a vacuum is necessary. There is also a cleaning outlet located behind the left side panel of the combustion chamber. Remove this panel using a screw driver. Loosen the adjustment screws then remove the securing screws(Figure 21). Slide the wall toward right(Figure 22), tilt it (Figure 23) then remove it from the combustion chamber. Scrape off ashes. You will notice a small rectangular cleaning outlet. Inspect behind this outlet (see Figure 24) Insert the vacuum tip through the cleaning outlet and clean thoroughly. REPEAT THIS OPERATION AT LEAST ONCE PER TON OF PELLETS BURNED UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW ASHES ACCUMULATE WITH YOUR OPERATING PRACTICES.

d.Convection blowers - Clean the blower’s protective wire mesh regularly as dust and hair build-ups on the mesh will reduce the efficiency of the blowers and may cause the stove to overheat.
