Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the surface or any part of the stove.

The following should be inspected periodically to ensure that the appliance is operating at its optimum and giving you excellent heat value:

2-3 Days / Weekly	Bi-Annually or 2 Tons of Fuel
Burn Pot and Liner	Exhaust Vent
Ash Pan	Fresh air Intake Tube
Inside Firebox	Blower Mechanisms
Door Glass	Heat exchanger tubes
Heat exchanger tubes	Behind firebox liners
Ash pan & Door gaskets	All Hinges
Door Latch	Post Season Clean-up

BURN POT AND LINER (2-3 days)

TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT

•Torx T-20 Screwdriver

•5/16” Wrench or Socket,

•Brush,

•Soft Cloth

•Vacuum with fine filter bag

The following list of components should be inspected and maintained routinely to ensure that the appliance is operating at its optimum and giving you excellent heat value:

This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. The burn pot and liner should be inspected every two to three days, to ensure proper air flow through the liner. Failure to keep the liner clean may cause a build up of fuel past the burn pot liner and up the drop tube. This will cause the auger to jam and may result in pellets burning in the drop tube and hopper.

Ensure the unit is cold before cleaning. To remove the burn pot and burn pot liner, open the door using the door handle provided, located on the left-hand side of the stove. Swing the door open. Lift the liner from the burn pot. Lift the burn pot from the firebox by gently lifting the front of the burn pot up first, then sliding the assembly from the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge. Using a metal scraper, remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s holes. Then dispose of the scrapped ashes from the liner and from inside the burn pot. Place the burn pot back into the stove, making sure that the pipes are properly inserted into the burn pot and the front tabs are placed in the firebox. Place the liner back into the burn-pot making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the ignitor tube. Push the liner up against the ignitor tube.

●If, after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this is an indication that the pellet fuel quality is poor or the stove may need cleaning. Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the slider / damper to produce the proper clean combustion.

INSIDE FIREBOX (2-3 days)

For bi-weekly clean out, ash may be removed from behind the steel plates by rotating the circular cover to allow vacuuming behind the plates.

ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (weekly)

After extended use the gasket may come loose. To repair or replace this, glue the gasket on, using high- temperature fiberglass gasket glue available from your local ENVIRO dealer. This is important to maintain an airtight assembly.
