ROUTINE CLEANING

WARNING: Disconnect the electrical cord prior to opening the sides of your stove or opening the exhaust system for any inspection, cleaning, maintenance or service work. NEVER perform any inspection, cleaning, maintenance or service on a HOT STOVE or when the cord is plugged in.

Proper care of your pellet stove or heater is required for peak, sustained performance. The need for frequent cleaning depends upon:

- amount of pellets burned

- length of time since the previous cleaning

- pellet quality

- quality of the fire

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

BURN GRATE - Clean as needed, scraping off any residue that may stick to the grate bottom or sides. Ensure the holes are clean and unrestricted. CAUTION: When replacing the grate, make sure it

is properly seated in the burn pot (ie. sitting level,

front to back, left to right). W

Remove the burn grate. Clean out the burn pot as needed. Do not push the ash to the back of the pot as this will restrict the air flow and affect the performance of this appliance. W

HEAT TUBES - With your stove’s main door closed, pull the HEAT TUBE SCRAPER ROD forward and back- ward a few times. As different types of pellets produce different amounts of ash, cleaning the tubes enables the heat exchange to operate efficiently. CAUTION: On a burning stove, the scraper rod is HOT or may not move due to metal expansion.

ASH BIN - Monitor the ash level on a weekly basis. Ash content is a good indication of fuel efficiency

WINDOW CLEANING - Clean your window as needed with an approved wood appliance glass cleaner to remove heavy build-up on the window. Do NOT use abrasive chemical cleaners. A 000 steel wool pad may be used to scour any hard-to-remove creosote and carbon accumulation. Finish your cleaning procedure by washing down the glass with vinegar & water to remove cleaner residue.

Many appliances leverage advanced burner technology that allows for efficient fuel consumption, minimizing waste while maximizing heat output. This technology not only enhances safety but also contributes to environmentally friendly practices by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the increasing consumer demand for sustainable outdoor solutions.

Another characteristic of products compliant with CAN/CSA B365 is their durability. The materials used in their construction are specifically chosen to withstand various weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, humidity, and UV exposure. This ensures that consumers receive long-lasting products that maintain their aesthetic and functional appeal over time.

In terms of installation, the standard emphasizes user-friendliness.
