blower cover latch vertical, see Fig.26. Sliding the

cover out of the slot on the left. This will expose the

combustion blower wheel and flue outlet, Fig.27.

8. Clean the combustion blower wheel with a brush and

a vacuum cleaner. Note: Do not use a household

vacuum to clean the stove. We recommend that

you use a shop vacuum that is equipped with a fine

dust filter called a HEPA filter or a vacuum specially

made for ashes and soot. Using a vacuum which is

not equipped with a fine dust filter may clog and

disperse fly ash and soot into the room.

Soot and Fly Ash

The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash which must be removed from the inner walls of the stove and from the venting system periodically. Removing fly ash and soot improves effi- ciency, insures that the flue venting passageway is clear and unobstructed. The stove should be cleaned after each ton of pellets (50 bags) and the venting system inspected and cleaned after each heating season.
