11.Cleaning the Hopper

•Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel

•By: Homeowner

•Task:

After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up. A combi- nation of sawdust and pellets on the auger reduces the amount of fuel supply to the firepot. This can result in nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.

a.The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow the appliance to completely cool down and then unplug it.

bEmpty the hopper of any remaining pellets.

c.Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.

12.Cleaning Exhaust Blower - Requires No Lubrication

•Frequency: Yearly or as needed

•By: Quality Service Technician/Homeowner

•Task:

a.Locate the blower on the left side of the appliance by opening both the left side curtain and the left pedestal access door. To clean the impeller it is easier to access through the right side curtain.

13.Door Latch Inspection

•Frequency: Periodically

•By: Homeowner

•Task:

The same latch is used on both the front door and the ash drawer. To adjust, open the latch and pivot the holding rod out. Loosen the jam nut on the rod. With a Phillips head screw driver, turn the rod clockwise to tighten. The latch handle should snap securely in place when adjusted properly. After adjusting the latch, be sure to tighten the jam nut on the rod to hold the adjustment.

14.Cleaning Convection Blower - Requires No Lubrication

•Frequency: Yearly or as needed

•By: Qualified Service Technician

•Task: Contact your local dealer.

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

•Frequency: Yearly or as needed

•By: Qualified Service Technician/Homeowner

•Task:

The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust vent- ing system and restrict the flow of the flue 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 venting 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 sec- tions. Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal sections.

16.Cleaning the Top Vent Adapter

a.The appliance must be in complete shutdown and the exhaust blower should be off. Allow the appliance to completely cool down.

b.Open the clean-out cover. See Figure 28.1.

c.Sweep out any ash build-up.

NOTE: There are heavy duty vacuum cleaners specifiically designed for solid fuel appliance cleaning.
