DAILY MAINTENANCE
The surfaces of the stove may be hot. Always wear protective gloves even when the stove is cool to the touch. There are two areas that require daily maintenance; (1) the firebox and (2) the fire pot.
•Remove the top baffle inside the firebox and clean the fly ash and soot on all exposed parts using a steel brush and ash cleaning vacuum.The use of a
•The fire pot and the area around it are cleaned using the special tool provided with the stove and an ash cleaning vacuum. It is important to remove any unburned pellets that may have fallen behind the burn pot.
•Complete the daily maintenance by checking the seal on the doors. Look for pellets that may have been left behind during loading. Check that each of the door seals are flush with the stove and sealing properly.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
•To clean fire pot with cleaning tool, remove fire pot by unscrewing the small spring from the lower cleaning rod. Remove rod and pull out fire pot. Hang on to end of cleaning tool with the hole in it. Scrape the fly ash that has fallen through the holes of the plate in the gap that sits below the fire pot.
•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. If you have installed clean out tees you will need to check for cleanliness.
NOTE: A clean unit burns efficiently and will remain trouble free!
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.
