Sherwood EF-3 BAYI Areas for Routine Inspection, ASH PAN and Door Gaskets, Burner POT and Liner

AREAS FOR ROUTINE INSPECTION

The following should be inspected periodically to ensure that the appliance is operating at its optimum and giving you excellent heat value:

2-3 DAYS/WEEKLY	SEASONALLY or 2 TONS OF FUEL
Burn Pot and Liner	Exhaust Vent and Fresh Air Intake Tube
Ash Pan	Blower Mechanisms
Inside Firebox	Heat exchanger tubes
Behind Firebox Liners	Latch Mechanism of ash pan
Door Glass	Door Latch
Heat exchanger tubes	All Hinges
Ash pan and Door gaskets	Post Season Clean-up

TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT: . Torx T-20 Screwdriver, 5/16 Socket and Ratchet, Brush, Soft Cloth, Vacuum with fine filter bag

ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS

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

BURNER POT AND LINER

This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. Every two to three days (when the unit is cold) remove the burn-pot liner from the stove. Using a metal scrapper remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s holes. Then dispose of the scrapped 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 the front tabs are in place in the firebox. Place the liner back into the burn-pot, making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the ignitor tube. Pushing the liner up against the igniter tube.

To remove the burn pot and burn pot liner open the door using the door handle provided located on the left-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 the front of the burn pot up first then sliding the assembly from the air intake tube and the igniter cartridge.

INSERT ASH REMOVAL:

The EF 3Bi pellet stove insert does not have an ash pan and the ashes must be vacuumed out of the firebox on a daily basis. CAUTION: BECAUSE THE FLY ASH IS VERY FINE, THE USE OF A VACUUM BAG WILL BE REQUIRED TO PREVENT ASH FROM BEING BLOWN BACK INTO THE ROOM. Please pay special attention that there are no hot ashes in the firebox or there could be a possibility of a fire hazard inside the vacuum cleaner. Place all hot ashes into a noncombustible container.

FREESTANDING ASH PAN:

This part is located under the burner, in the pedestal and has a latching mechanism to secure it. To remove the ash pan, unlock the latch on the pedestal cover and then pull the pan out. Dump the ashes into a metal container stored away from combustibles. Monitor the ash level every week. Remember that different pellet fuels will have different ash contents. Ash content is a good indication of fuel efficiency and quality. Refer to “Warnings and Recommendations” for disposal of ashes.

BLOWER MECHANISMS

Unplug the stove then open the right/left side panels to access the two blowers. Only the convection blower motor (on the right side of the stove) will require lubrication. The convection motor has two lubrication holes on it. Use two drops of SAE 20, light oil to lubricate every six months. Excess oil may damage the motor. The exhaust blower’s motor has sealed bearings, DO NOT lubricate this motor.
