YEARLY MAINTENANCE

Convection Blower Cleaning

As always, be certain the stove is cool and unplugged before servicing any components within the unit. Since the convection blower does not handle any by‐products of combustion, it does not require serious cleaning like the exhaust blower. However, dust from the home and other debris in the air can accumulate on the blades of the convection blower. The convection blower is located on the side of the stove opposite the combustion blower, and an access panel on the stove is located for easy convection blower cleaning. Any dust that has built up on the fan blades can usually be easily removed with a vacuum or a soft paint brush.

Cleaning Pellet Fines from the Hopper and Auger

Depending on the type and quality of pellets burned in the stove, some accumulation of pellet fines and dust is possible in the hopper. The lowest part of the auger, near the back of the stove, is where most fines will accumulate. With the stove off, unplugged, completely cool and with the hopper empty, use a utility vacuum to remove the fines from the auger tube. If the fines cannot be removed from the top of the hopper:

Remove the back panel by first removing the three screws which secure the exhaust outlet cover plate. Next, loosen the four stove back retaining screws and lift the back up and off of the unit.

Locate the auger motor assembly at the middle rear of the stove, and once it is found, find the two set screws on either side of the cast iron mounting collar.

Using a 3/16” allen wrench, loosen the set screw on either side of the auger mounting collar.

With a utility vacuum in hand, let the auger assembly slide out of the auger tube just enough so that the vacuum can be used to remove any fines from this area.

Reinstall the auger assembly and tighten the two set screws; reinstall the back panel and the exhaust outlet cover plate, being certain to tighten the seven (7) retaining screws on the rear of the stove.

Checking Gaskets

An airtight seal at the door openings and hopper lid opening is crucial to proper stove performance. Any air leaks at these areas can not only cause a dirty, inefficient burn but can also pose a serious safety threat. Because of this, gaskets should always be maintained in good condition. Gasket tightness can be checked using the “dollar‐bill” method:

Place a dollar bill between the gasket and the stove body (at the location where the gasket meets the stove).

Tighten the latching mechanism down and attempt to pull the dollar bill out. If the dollar bill slides in and out easily, the gasket needs to be replaced. This test should be repeated around the entire gasket perimeter, as gaskets will sometimes seal tightly on one side, but will be worn and seal poorly on another side.
