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:
CAUTION WHEN VACUUMING FLY ASH: 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.

TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT:
Torx T-20 Screwdriver, 5/16” wrench or
socket, 75 mm and 50 mm Brush, Soft
Cloth, Vacuum with fine filter bag.
ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS
(Check every 2-3 days):
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 dealer. This is important to maintain
an airtight assembly. DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW
PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.
ABOVE HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES (Every 2-3 days):
There is a tube cleaner rod at the front of the unit (shown in Figure
6). When the stove is off, pull the rod in and out to remove the ash
build up above the heat exchanger tubes.
BURNER POT AND LINER (Every 2-3 days):
To remove the burn pot and burn pot liner, open the door. 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. 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. 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.
