Enviro EF4 Routine Cleaning and Maintenance, Tools Required to Clean Unit, Burn POT and Liner

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:

			TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT
2-3 Days / Weekly		Bi-Annually or 2 Tons of Fuel
			• Torx T-20 Screwdriver
Burn Pot and Liner		Exhaust Vent
			• 5/16” Wrench or Socket
Ash Pan		Fresh air Intake Tube
			• Brush
Inside Firebox		Blower Mechanisms	• Soft Cloth
Door Glass		Heat exchanger tubes	• Vacuum with fine filter bag
Heat exchanger tubes		Behind firebox liners	The following list of components should be
Ash pan & Door gaskets		All Hinges
Door Latch		Post Season Clean-up	inspected and maintained routinely to ensure
			that the appliance is operating at its optimum
BURN POT AND LINER	(2-3 days)		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.
				Figure 3: Burn pot with liner.

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.

EXHAUST PASSAGES (2-3 days)

For bi-weekly clean out, ash may be removed from behind the steel plates by rotating the circular covers located behind the right and left side panels (see Figure 4). To open the side panels undo one (1) T-20 screw on each side (top front). When the side cabinet doors have been opened, there are two (2) round disks at the bottom of the firebox. Loosen, but do not remove, the screw on the disks and open, this will allow vacuuming behind the firebox liner’s plates.
