Routine Cleaning and Maintenance
Installation of firebox backing:
•Insert center panel.
•Place the side panels in the firebox and
•Replace the firebrick liner.
•Replace the burn pot and burn pot liner.
•Close the glass door and secure.
EXHAUST VENT (season)
The products of combustion will contain small particles of flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year or after two tons of pellets to determine if cleaning is necessary. We recommend contacting your dealer for professional cleaning. To remove dust from 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/left side panels to access the two blowers. Vacuum all dust from the 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 drops of SAE 20 light oil to lubricate every six months. Excess oil may damage the motor. The exhaust blower’s motor has sealed bearings, DO NOT lubricate this motor.
DOOR GLASS (It is recommended that your dealer replace the glass if broken.)
The door glass is a high temperature PYROCERAMIC. 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, center the glass assembly in the frame, then screw the glass retainers back to the frame. The use of substitute materials is prohibited; use only part
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 gold if not removed before operating the pellet heater.
