INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

MF3500 Model

DAILY MAINTENANCE

Surfaces on the front of the stove will be extremely hot during operation. Always wear heat resistant gloves to perform periodic maintenance.

Remove heat shield. Using a wooden stick, tap the side heat exchangers that are located on the left and right sides of the firebox. When you open the door, they are located directly inside to the left and right. When you tap the sides with the wooden stick the loose fly ash will drop out of these holes.

Inspect inside stove for excessive ash build up.You will learn some fuels produce more ash than others.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

Remove the ash pan and dump the ash into a metal container.

Cleaning of the exhaust system will depend upon the ash and debris content of your fuel. If your fuel has a high ash content and/or significant debris in it, the exhaust system will require weekly cleaning. Cleaner fuels will allow for monthly cleaning of the exhaust system. Remove the exhaust pipe from the back of the stove and remove any ash that may have collected in the pipes. Replace the pipes to the stove and seal with high temperature seal tape. If you have installed proper clean out tees you will not have to take the chimney sections apart.

NOTE: A clean unit bums efficiently and will remain trouble free!

Moving parts inside of the cabinet may cause injury. Do not operate unit with panels removed or open.

HOT parts. Do not operate the unit with panel open.

Inthe event of component failure, replace with the original factory equipment.

CAUTION

THIS IS A MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR SOOT AND FLY ASH REMOVAL. ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED IN A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT FITTING LID. THE CONTAINER SHOULD BE PLACED ON A NON-COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR, WELL AWAY FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, PENDING FINAL DISPOSAL. iF ASHES ARE DISPOSED OF BY BURIAL IN SOIL OR OTHERWISE LOCALLY DISPERSED, THEY SHOULD BE RETAINED IN THE CLOSED CONTAINER UNTIL ALL CINDERS ARE NO LONGER WARM.

SEASONAL CLEANING

Once every year you must clean out all of the fuel in the hopper, firebox area, ash pan and fire pot area. Corn and any ash can accumulate moisture over the summer months causing the unit to rust and the fuel to mold.

It is recommended that prior to shutting down the unit in the spring it is run on the high setting for about six hours to help clean out the heat exchanger system, venting system and firebox area.

When the unit is cleaned out, empty the hopper, take the venting apart and clean out the fly ash, rinse and let dry. Take the draft blower off and clean out all areas such as back heat exchanger and lubricate the auger, auger tube, and fire pot area. (Something like vegetable spray works great to coat the inside of the unit and the moving parts). Clean the glass, doors and outer cabinet so that you are ready for the next heating season. Use of a wet/dry vacuum makes the clean out easier and faster.
