10.Cleaning the Hopper

•Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel

•By: Homeowner

After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up.

A combination of sawdust and pellets on the auger reduces the amount of fuel supply to the fi repot. This can result in nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.

a.The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow the appliance to completely cool down.

b.Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.

CAUTION

Handle glass assembly with care.

When cleaning glass:

• Avoid striking, scratching or slamming glass.

• Do NOT clean glass when hot.

•Do NOT use abrasive cleaners.

•Use a hard water deposit glass cleaner on white fi lm.

•Refer to maintenance instructions.

c.Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.

11.Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal in Exhaust Venting System.

•Frequency: Yearly or more frequently depending on ash build-up.

•By: Qualifi ed Service Technician/Homeowner

Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been unplugged and the exhaust blower is off.

The products of combustion will contain small particles of fl y ash. The fl y ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the fl ow of the fl ue gases.

At start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there is a shutdown or incorrect operation of the appliance it will lead to some soot formation. This will collect in the exhaust vent- ing system.

The venting system may need to be cleaned at least once a year or more often depending upon the quality of your fuel or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sections. Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal sections.

13.Cleaning Convection Blower - Requires No Lubrication

•Frequency: Yearly or as needed

•By: Qualifi ed Service Technician

a.The appliance must be in complete shutdown and completely cooled.

b.Remove both the left and right cast sides.

c.Use either a can of compressed air or an air com- pressor.

d.Reach as far back as possible and spray com- presssed air liberally from both sides at the blower. This will remove any lint or dust build-up on the impellers.
