Bi-Weekly Maintenance (or every 10 bags of pellets)

Flyash Removal

This heater was designed to allow for easy flyash removal with the included tools. However, to ease maintenance, several pellet stove owners have purchased vacuums specifically made to remove flyash. Furthermore, some of these vacuums are heat-resistant to allow for flyash removal while it is still warm. Do not use a standard vacuum on this appliance (except to clean the pellet dust out of the hopper). Standard vacuums may spread the fine particles inside the flyash into the home and are not heat-resistant (hot flyash may cause the internal portion of vacuums to ignite).

Clean the Hopper

Run the stove until the pellets run out. Open the hopper and remove the dust and debris near the bottom of the hopper.

Clean the Exterior

Painted or enameled surfaces may be dusted or wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive or solvent-based cleaners.

WARNING: Do not clean enamel surfaces when hot – this may cause the surface to crack.

Clean the Heat Exchange Tubes

Use the included tool to move the heat exchanger rod up and down.

WARNING:

The front edge of the stove becomes very hot, do not touch the area below the handle.

Keep the door closed so the flyash does not enter the room.

NOTE: The tool hangs on

the back of the stove.
