Clean the blower blades, blower housing, and exhaust box. You may wish to

 

use a vacuum to pull ash out of the vent system. When replacing the motor,

take care to align the gasket (if it is damaged, replace). Check the nipple and flow switch tube. Insert a pipe cleaner through the nipple to dislodge any flyash. NOTE: The flow switch will shut off the auger if the tube becomes clogged or dislodged. Make sure it is cleaned out and correctly attached.

Clean the Vent

Flyash will deposit along sections that are horizontal.

Make sure the cap is free of debris (especially if it has a screen that could become blocked).

Check the vent sections for creosote accumulation (indicating a poorly burning stove). Accumulation over 1/4” must be removed.

On vertically vented systems, the dirtiest portion is often the point where the vent turns upwards (i.e. the "Tee"). Fortunately, the "Tee" has a built- in clean-out cover. Place a container under the “Tee”, disconnect the cover and remove all flyash. While open, use a flashlight to look up the vent to check for build-up.

Warning: Whenever any portion of the pellet vent is disconnected, the joints must be sealed with RTV 500° F. silicone sealant.
