TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT:

Torx T-20 Screwdriver, 1⁄4”, 5/16” 3⁄8”, & 7/16” wrench and/or socket, Ash Pan Tool, Brush, Soft Cloth, and Vacuum with fine filter bag

BURNER POT AND LINER (Checked Daily/Emptied Weekly)

To remove the burn pot and burn pot liner, open the door using the door handle provided (located on the right-hand side of the stove). Swing the door open. Lift the liner from the burn pot. Lift the burn pot from the firebox by gently lifting up the front of the burn pot, then sliding the assembly from the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge.

This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. When the unit is cold, remove the burn-pot liner from the stove. Using a metal scrapper, remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s holes. Then dispose of the scrapped ashes from the liner and from inside the burn-pot. Place the burn-pot back into the stove, making sure that the pipes are properly inserted into the burn pot. Place the liner back into the burn-pot, making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the ignitor tube; push the liner up against the ignitor tube.

If, after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this is an indication that the pellet fuel quality is poor or the stove may need cleaning. Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the slider / damper to produce the proper clean combustion.

HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES (Weekly)

There are two (2) sets of exchanger tube scrapers; the handles are located under the top grill (trivet). Lift the grill and move the handles all the way up and down a few times (ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS COLD) in order to clean away any fly ash that may have collected on the heat exchanger tubes. As different types of pellets produce different amounts of ash, cleaning of the tubes should be done on a regular basis to enable the unit to run efficiently.
