Maintenance

FAN ASSEMBLY

Routine lubrication of the fan motor is not required. Periodic cleaning of the fan assembly (including fan blades) with a soft brush and vacuum cleaner will ensure longer life and maximum efficiency for the fan assembly. How- ever, should it become necessary to replace the fan contact your local dealer.

PAINT

If the finish on the stove ever becomes blemished, you can repaint with high temperature paint available from your dealer. DO NOT paint the stove while it is HOT.

RHEOSTAT REPLACEMENT

The fan rheostat seldom fails. But, if it does, follow this procedure after obtaining a BLAZE KING replacement rheostat.

1.Unplug the fan power cord from the wall.

2.Remove the four screws on the fan cage containing the rheostat switch.

3.Remove the blower from the cage, locate the two wires coming from the rheostat switch.

4.Unplug the two wires from the rheostat switch.

5.Pull the knob straight off the switch.

6.Unscrew the nut holding the switch to the cage.

7.Replace the switch, making sure the small position locating pin is fitted into the hole in the cage.

8.To reinstall the switch, reverse the above steps being sure to tuck the wires back into the assembly so they do not come in contact with the fan blade.

THERMOMETER

The catalyst thermometer, with its built-in lag of 4-8 minutes, tells you what was happening 4-8 minutes ago. And remember, it is only an indication of the temperatures of the gasses, after they pass through the catalyst. The thermometer probe, the part that fits into the stove, must be cleaned at least once a year. Lift it from the stove (be careful, it may be hot) and wipe or scrape it clean. At room temperature, away from the stove, the indicator should point near the bottom of the "Inactive" zone. If, after several years use, you find that the needle no longer points to the bottom of the "Inactive" zone when the thermometer has been at room temperature for 10 minutes or longer, it may need adjustment. Holding the probe with a pair of pliers, loosen the bolt on the top of the dial. Turn the dial to align the pointer with the bottom of the "Inactive" zone, then retighten the bolt.

THERMOSTAT

Under normal operations, the thermostat should be set on a mid-range setting. At this setting the stove is capa- ble of heating an average size home. The thermostat is adjusted at the factory and should not be tampered with. If the thermostat breaks, the damper will automatically close.
