ROUTINE CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

The following list of components should be inspected and maintained routinely to ensure that the appliance is operating at its optimum and giving you excellent heat value:

2-3 Days / Weekly	Semi-Annually or 2 Tons of Fuel
Burn Pot & Liner	Exhaust Vent
Ash Pan	Fresh Air Intake Tube
Inside Firebox	Blower Mechanisms
Door Glass	Heat Exchanger Tubes
Heat Exchanger Tubes	Behind Firebox Liners
Ash Pan & Door Gaskets	All Hinges
Door Latch	Post Season Clean-Up

If after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this is an indication that the pellet fuel quality is poor or the stove may need cleaning. Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the slider / damper to produce the proper clean combustion.

TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT

a) Torx T-20 Screwdriver

b)5/16" Wrench or Socket

c)1" Soft Paint Brush

d)Soft Cloth

e)Vacuum with fine Filter Bag

MAINTENANCE

OPENING THE DOOR

The door lever can be found inbehind the right side of the door frame. To open the door, pivet the lever outwards and upwards until it unlocks.

BURN POT AND LINER

(2-3 days)

Cleaning of the burn pot and liner must only be done when stove is cold. To remove the burn pot and burn pot liner, open the door using the door handle provided (located on the right-hand side of the stove). Swing the door open. Lift the liner from the burn pot. Lift the burn pot from the firebox by gently lifting up the front of the burn pot, then sliding the assembly from the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge. See figure 9.

This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. Every two (2) to three (3) days (when the unit is cold), remove the burn-pot liner from the stove and inspected it to ensure proper air flow through the liner. Failure to keep the liner clean may cause a build up of fuel past the burn pot liner and up the drop tube. This will cause the auger to jam and may result in pellets burning in the drop tube and hopper. Using a metal scraper, remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s holes. Then dispose of ashes from the liner and from inside the burn-pot. Place the burn-pot back into the stove, making sure that the pipes are properly inserted into the burn pot and locater tabs (see figure 9) are properly seated in the locater holes. Place the liner back into the burn-pot, making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the ignitor tube. Push the liner up against the ignitor tube.

DOOR GLASS CLEANING

(2-3 days)

Cleaning of the glass must only be done when stove is cold. Open the door by lifting the handle. The glass can be cleaned by wiping down the outside and inside of the glass with a dry soft cloth.

If the glass has build up that can not be removed with only the cloth, clean the glass using paper towel and a gas appliance glass cleaner, this may be purchased through most dealers. If a gas appliance glass cleaner is not available, use a damp paper towel dipped in fly ash to clean the glass. After the glass has been cleaned use the dry soft cloth to wiping down the outside and inside of the glass.

ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS

(weekly)

After extended use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the gasketing on using high-temperature fiberglass gasket glue / RTU silicone available from your local Greenfire dealer. This is important to maintain an airtight assembly.
