This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. The burn pot and liner should be inspected every two to three days, to ensure proper air flow through the liner. Failure to keep the liner clean may cause a build up of fuel past the burn pot liner and up the drop tube. This will cause the auger to jam and may result in pellets burning in the drop tube and hopper.

Ensure the unit is cold before cleaning. To remove the burn pot and burn pot liner, open the door using the door handle provided, located on the left-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 the front of the burn pot up first, then sliding the assembly from the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge. Using a metal scraper, 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 and the front tabs are placed in the firebox. 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.

INSIDE FIREBOX (weekly)

For bi-weekly clean out, ash may be removed from behind the steel plates by rotating the circular cover to allow vacuuming behind the plates.

ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (weekly)

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