Enviro EF2 owner manual Not Place Unburned or RAW Pellet Fuel in ASH PAN, Freestanding ASH PAN

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

ASH PAN (2-3 days)

Monitor the ash level every week. Remember that different pellet fuels will have different ash contents. Ash content is a good indication of fuel efficiency and quality. Dump the ashes into a metal container stored away from combustibles. Refer to “Warnings and Recommendations” for disposal of ashes. DO

NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.

Vacuum the ash pan and inside the pedestal. CAUTION: BECAUSE THE FLY ASH IS VERY FINE, THE USE OF A FINE FILTER VACUUM BAG WILL BE REQUIRED TO PREVENT ASH FROM BEING BLOWN BACK INTO THE ROOM. Please pay special attention that there are no hot ashes in the firebox or there could be a possibility of a fire hazard inside the vacuum cleaner. Place all hot ashes into a non-combustible container.

FREESTANDING ASH PAN:

The EF2 pellet stove freestanding’s ash pan is located under the burner, in the pedestal, and has a latching mechanism to secure it. To remove the ash pan, unlock the latch on the ash pan and then pull the pan out.

FIREPLACE INSERT AND BUILT-IN HEATER ASH PAN:

The EF2 pellet stove insert’s ash pan is located behind the lower grill.

HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES (2-3 days)

The handle for the heat exchanger cleaning rod is pointed out in Figure 5. This handle is to be pulled back and forth a few times (ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS COLD) in order to clean away any fly ash that may have collected on the heat exchanger tubes. As different types of pellets produce different amounts of ash, cleaning of the tubes should be done on a regular basis to enable the unit to run efficiently.

FRESH AIR INTAKE (season)

Inspect periodically to be sure that it is not clogged with any foreign materials.
