Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

The following list of components should be inspected and maintained routinely to ensure that the appliance is operating at its optimum and giving you excellent heat value. The appliance, flue gas connector and the chimney flue require regular cleaning. Check them for blockage prior to re-lighting after a prolonged shut down period.

2-3 Days / Weekly	Bi-annually or 2 Tons of Fuel
Burn Pot and Liner	Exhaust Vent
Heat Exchanger Tubes	Fresh Air Intake Tube
Ash Pan	Blower Mechanisms
Door Glass	Heat Exchanger Tubes
Inside Firebox	Behind Firebox Liners
Ash Pan and Door Gaskets	All Hinges
Door Latch	Post Season Clean-up

TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT:

Torx T-20 Screwdriver, 5/16” wrench or socket, Ash Pan Tool, Brush, Soft Cloth, and Vacuum with fine filter bag

BURNER POT AND LINER (2-3 days)

Burn Pot

Liner

Air Intake

Tube

Ignitor

Burn

Pot

Figure 8: Evolution Burn pot and

Liner.

This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. Every two to three days (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. 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.

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. Pushing 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 (2-3 days)

A handle is located in the center of the stove just above the door (shown in Figure 9). Put gloves on and pull it 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.

DOOR GLASS CLEANING (2-3 days) Figure 9: Evolution Heat Exchange.

Cleaning of the glass must only be done when stove is cold. Open the door by lifting the handle. The glass can be cleaned by wiping down the outside and inside of the glass with a dry soft cloth.
