Enviro C-10969 owner manual Do not Place Unburned or RAW Pellet Fuel in ASH PAN

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (weekly)

After extended use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the gasketing on using high- temperature fiberglass gasket glue available from your local ENVIRO dealer. This is important to maintain an airtight assembly.

ASH PAN (2-3 days)

The ash pan is located under the door. To remove the ash pan, simply turn the latch with a large standard blade screwdriver and pull out towards the front. Dump the ashes into a metal container stored away from combustibles. Vacuum the ash pan and inside the firebox. CAUTION: BECAUSE THE FLY ASH IS VERY FINE, THE USE OF A FINE FILTER VACUUM BAG WILL BE REQUIRED TO PREVENT ASH FROM BEING BLOWN BACK INTO THE ROOM. Please pay special attention that there are no hot ashes in the firebox or there could be a possibility of a fire hazard inside the vacuum cleaner. Place all hot ashes into a non-combustible container.

Monitor the ash level every week. Remember that different pellet fuels will have different ash contents. Ash content is a good indication of fuel efficiency and quality. Refer to “INTRODUCTION - SAFETY WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS” for disposal of ashes. It is important to latch the ashpan tightly whe re- installing it.

DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.

HEAT EXCHANGER (weekly)

Clean away any fly ash that may have collected on the heat exchanger by opening the door and brushing off the fins on the inside of the firebox. As different types of pellets produce different amounts of ash, cleaning of the fins should be done on a regular basis to enable the unit to run efficiently.

FRESH AIR INTAKE (season)

Inspect periodically to be sure that it is not clogged with any foreign materials.
