Clean the Convection Blower

Remove all dust and debris from the convection blower. Take care to prevent damage to the convection blower impellers.

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.

Adjusting the Door Hinge and Latch

The door latch should pull the door against the face of the stove (but not so tight as to not allow full handle rotation). To adjust the door latch, adjust the position of the striker plate that attaches to the front plate of the stove.

Check for Air Leaks Around the Door, Glass, and Ashpan

!Air leaks into the firebox will decrease the stove's performance greatly, leading to excessive sooting, inefficient burning, and perhaps a malfunction.

Inspect the door gasket to make sure it is fully attached. Use stove gasket cement to re-attach if necessary. If the door gasket is worn or flattened, replace.

If the glass is cracked, replace. The glass is held in place by glass clips. See the illustration below for details.

Remove the ashpan and inspect the gasket around the perimeter of the ashpan. Re-attach, or replace the gasket if necessary.
