Daily Maintenance (whenever using the stove)

Inspect the Burn

When burning on high, the flames should be bright orange with embers jumping from the firepot.

NOTE: the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system. See "Restrictor Adjustment" for details.

Make Sure Pellets are

Not Piling Up

If the pellets pile up over the burn pot, turn the mode switch to "OFF".

The most likely causes are:

• Restrictor needs adjustment (see “Restrictor Adjustment” in the installation section of this manual)

• The door, glass, or ashpan is open or has an air leak

The firepot requires cleaning

• The exhaust system requires cleaning
