UNIT.
a.Cleaning – Over a period of time, ashes or dust may collect on the blades of both the combustion blower and convection blower. Periodically the blowers should be vacuumed clean as these ashes can impede performance. Creosote can also accumulate in the combustion blower. This needs to be brushed clean. The convection blower is accessed by removing the stove’s left side panel. The combustion blower can be accessed by removing the stove’s right side panel. The convection blower is on the left (facing stove), and the combustion blower is on the right.
NOTE: When cleaning, be careful not to dislodge balancing clip on convection blower or to bend fan blades. Some stove owners lightly spray an anti- creosote chemical on the fire to help reduce creosote formation within the stove.
b.Oiling – Convection blower only. Manufacturer suggests oiling every 6 months. Refer to figure 27 for lubrication points. Use SAE 20W motor oil or turbine oil. Limit to one or two drops.
