Cleaning the Combustion Blower
To clean the combustion blower, remove the six nuts labeled A in Figure 46 with an 11/32” wrench. After removing these nuts, the motor with fan attached can be pulled from the fan housing. The fan blades and the fan housing can be vacuumed once the motor is removed. When reinstalling the motor, a new gasket may need to be installed between the motor and the fan housing. To complete the reinstalla- tion, place the motor back on the fan housing and reinstall the six nuts. Make sure the motor’s green ground wire is secured under one of the nuts.
Cleaning the Flue Gas Passageways | Figure 46 |
Cleaning the flue gas passageways should be done at least |
|
once a year. Burning high ash pellets may require this |
|
cleaning to be done more often. Clean these passageways |
|
only when the stove and ash are cold - do not start a fire |
|
in the vacuum cleaner by vacuuming up hot ash. On each |
|
side of the stove there are two access covers (see B and C |
|
in Figure 47) that can be removed by unscrewing the two |
|
5/32” allen head screws. Insert a cleaning brush in the |
|
openings to loosen any ash |
|
cleaner to remove the loosened ash. Reinstall the covers |
|
when cleaning is complete. | BB |

There are also two more access holes located behind the ash drawer. Remove the ash drawer (see previous page) and loosen the two 5/16” screws with a 1/2” socket or wrench, the screws are shown as D in Figure 45. Rotate the covers over the access holes and use a brush and vacuum to clean the ash. Rotate the covers back over the holes and tighten the screws.
