Annual Cleaning
The stove and the flue system should be given a complete cleaning at the end of the
heating season. Remove the burn pot assembly, clean it thoroughly, and re-install it (refer to Illustration 4); this will require new gasket for the burn pot. Be sure to tighten the set screws when you replace them, but do not over-tighten. In addition to the cleaning mentioned for semi-weekly and monthly, the Combustion (exhaust) Blower should be removed annually and the blower tube vacuumed of any ash build-up. When cleaning or replacing the blower a new gasket (Part # PU-CBG) should be added between the blower flange and the steel exhaust tube.
Soot and Fly ash: Formation and Need for Removal – The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: UNPLUG THE UNIT PRIOR TO ANY SERVICE WORK!
SEE EXPLODED DIAGRAM (ILLUSTRATION 4) FOR PARTS REFERENCE Parts Orders: (800) 516-3636www.englandsstoveworks.com Questions: (800) 245-6489NOTE: Visit our web site for downloadable maintenance sheets and/or a service video that
details and illustrates the following maintenance tasks.
Rear Panel Removal
WARNING: To perform any maintenance inside the rear of the unit, the stove
must be out (no fire), cooled down and unplugged. Electrical shock can occur if the unit is not unplugged from power.
To remove the rear panel, simply loosen the eight (8) screws (size 5/16”) and flex the panel. The panel should come off without fully removing the screws.
Instructions for maintenance and part replacement procedures can be found on www.englandsstoveworks.com .
Auger Motors
The Auger Motor and gearbox are one complete assembly (Part #PU-047040), and can be removed by disconnecting the power leads and loosening the (5/16” head) set bolt in front of the assembly. This bolt tightens down on the flat side of the gear shaft and locks the gear shaft and auger shaft together – once the bolt is loosened, the entire assembly will slide from the locking collar. There are two motor assemblies on the unit, and both rest on a shelf when not in operation. When replacing a motor, the assembly should always be placed to rest on this shelf prior to starting the unit.
Auger Bearings and Auger Shafts
The auger bearings (Part #PU-UCF204-12) are a sealed unit and do not require lubrication. To replace the Top Auger, all the fuel must be removed from the hopper as well as from the Top Auger assembly. Once this is done, the four bolts that hold in the bearing can be removed, followed by the complete auger assembly. Loosen the two (2) set screws with a 1/8” allen wrench, which will disconnect the bearing from the shaft (the bearing assembly and auger assembly can be replaced by reversing this procedure). When placing the auger assemblies in the unit, always tighten the four bolts in a diagonal pattern to ensure the bearings and shafts are aligned properly.
