Yearly Maintenance – Continued

Adjusting the Ashpan Latch

The ashpan latch may be adjusted by opening the ashpan, turning the latch to the closed position, then pushing the ashpan in firmly. Repeat this process until the latch holds the ashpan secure, and air-tight.

Cleaning the Combustor Area

Ash may build up in the area to the left and right of the combustor. If the ash becomes too deep, it may plug the combustor and lead to insufficient draft and poor efficiency. To clean this area, follow one of the two methods listed below.

• Method A (for older units or units with easily-removed flues)

Remove the flue from the stove (place a garbage bag under the flue to catch any falling soot or creosote). Use a suitable vacuum (AshVac™ or equivalent) to vacuum the area to the left and right of the combustor (see the illustration on page 35). Ash can pile up in this area so it is important to remove it once per year.

•Method B (for newer units only)

Newer units have clean-out plugs on the firebox back. This allows the area to the left and right of the combustor to be cleaned without removing the flue. To access these clean-out plugs, remove the side, back, and combustion brick (see page 35). Remove the two plugs that insert into the firebox back and use a suitable vacuum (AshVac™ or equivalent) to vacuum the area to the left and right of the combustor. Ash can pile up in this area so it is important to remove it once per year.

These high-quality stoves are crafted to provide efficient heating while also enhancing the aesthetic appeal of any home. They come in a range of styles and forms, including freestanding stoves, fireplace inserts, and gas-burning units, making it easy for homeowners to find the perfect fit for their needs.

One of the standout features of Lopi stoves is their stellar efficiency. Many models boast EPA-certified efficiencies exceeding 80%, which means they utilize wood as a fuel source effectively and significantly reduce waste output. This not only translates to lower heating costs but also supports environmentally conscious living. Their advanced combustion technology ensures that the wood burns slowly and evenly, producing a clean burn that minimizes emissions.

Lopi stoves are engineered with cutting-edge features that elevate user experience. The patented Trinity Technology is a hallmark of their design, allowing for a more complete combustion process. This technology helps maximize heat output and minimizes smoke, ensuring that users enjoy a warm and comfortable environment without compromising air quality.

Durability is another key characteristic of Lopi stoves. Constructed from heavy-duty steel and high-quality materials, they are built to withstand the test of time. Some models feature cast iron doors and heat exchangers, providing both resilience and an elegant aesthetic. Additionally, Lopi offers a variety of finishes and styles, allowing homeowners to customize their stoves to match their unique interior decor.

Lopi also prioritizes safety in their designs. Many stoves come equipped with features such as cool-to-the-touch handles, built-in safety screens, and advanced heat distribution systems, ensuring that they operate safely while maintaining a cozy atmosphere.

Moreover, Lopi stoves are versatile, offering options for both traditional wood-burning and modern gas flame stoves. This flexibility allows consumers to choose their preferred heating method based on their lifestyle and availability of resources.

In conclusion, Lopi Stoves represent a harmonious blend of efficiency, durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal. Their innovative technologies and design features make them an excellent choice for those seeking reliable home heating solutions that are also environmentally friendly.
