HOPPER CLEANING -

REQUIRED 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.

(cont’d)

Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any sawdust or pellets that are sticking to the hopper surface and clean as needed. W

GLASS REPLACEMENT - In the event you need glass replacement, only Neo-Ceram of the correct size and thickness may be used. Contact your Authorized Dealer to obtain this glass.

DO NOT OPERATE YOUR STOVE WITH BROKEN GLASS!

DOOR GASKET - Inspect the main door gasket periodically. The main door may be removed to have frayed, broken or compacted gaskets replaced by your Authorized Dealer. S

FAN MOTORS - Clean the intake on the CONVECTION FAN (circulation) as well as the holes on the motors of both COMBUSTION and CONVECTION FANS annually. Disassemble the COMBUSTION FAN and clean out the internal fan blades as part of your fall season startup. S

Inspect periodically to be sure that it is not clogged with any foreign materials. A plugged screen will restrict or shut off combustion air and cause a fire to burn poorly or die out. W

GOLD/BRASS TRIM CLEANING - Use a damp cloth to clean your door and trim. DO NOT USE

ANY ABRASIVE CLEANSERS AS YOU WILL REMOVE OR SCRATCH THE PLATING! W

INSPECT AND CLEAN VENTING - Fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of flue gases. Check the clean out tees and elbows in the system periodically to determine the required schedule of cleaning. To remove dust from the vent pipe, lightly tap on the pipe to dislodge loose ash. Open the bottom of the tee to dump the ash, then use an ash vacuum to remove as much ash as possible from the pipe. 3” and 4” chimney brushes are available for cleaning. If the exhaust system has a screen on it, frequently clean the screen. A plugged screen will shut down the stove or cause the fire to burn poorly or die out. S

PAINTED SURFACES - Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp cloth. If scratches appear or you wish to renew your paint, contact your Dealer to obtain a can of ‘satin black’ (Stove Brite brand) TIP: Use a hair dryer to warm the surface prior to touching up the paint; this helps to reduce paint runs.

NOTE: Do not use any other brand than Stove Brite as they may not be compatible. S

SPRING SHUTDOWN - After the last burn in the spring, complete the following tasks:

- remove pellets from hopper and auger	- consider spraying the inside of the cleaned
- vacuum out the hopper	hopper with an aerosol silicone spray if
