Routine Cleaning and Maintenance
EXHAUST VENT (biannually)
This vent should be cleaned every year or after two tons of pellets. We recommend contacting your dealer for professional cleaning. To clean the vent pipe, tap lightly on the pipe to dislodge any loose ash. Open the bottom of the “T” to dump the ash, then vacuum as much of the ash out of the vent pipe as possible.
BLOWER MECHANISMS (season)
Unplug the stove then open the right and left side panels to access the two blowers. Vacuum all dust from motors. Only the convection blower motor (on the right side of the stove) will require lubrication. The convection motor has two lubrication holes on it. Use two (2) drops of SAE 20 light oil to lubricate every six (6) months. Excess oil may damage the motor. The exhaust blower’s motor has sealed bearings, DO NOT lubricate this motor. Check gaskets and replace if needed.
POST SEASON CLEAN-UP
Once you are finished using the pellet appliance for the season, unplug the stove for added electrical protection. It is very important that the stove be cleaned and serviced as stated above.
CLEANING PLATED SURFACES
Please clean all fingerprints off of all plated parts, with denatured alcohol on a soft cloth, before firing the unit each time. Fingerprints, etc. can become permanently etched into the plating if not removed before operating the pellet heater.
BRICK PANEL
The paint on the steel brick panel may peel. This is due to extreme conditions applied to the paint and is in no way covered by warranty.
DOOR GLASS REPLACEMENT
It is recommended that your dealer replace the glass if broken. The door glass is made of high temperature PYRO CERAMIC. To replace the glass, unscrew and remove the four glass retainers. Remove the glass and any broken pieces. High temperature fiberglass tape should be used around the glass. Replace the glass by securing the glass retainers back to the frame ensure the glass is seated in the bottom glass retainer. The use of substitute materials is prohibited use only part
