GLASS
We recommend using a high quality glass cleaner. Should a build up of creosote or carbon accumulate, you may wish to use 000 steel wool and water to clean the glass. In the event you need to replace the glass, only high tem- perature ceramic glass of the correct size and thickness may be used. Contact your Authorized “Ashley Heritage” Dealer to obtain this glass.
FALL START UP
Prior to starting the first fire of the heating season, check the outside area around the exhaust and air intake sys- tems for obstructions. Clean and remove any fly ash from the exhaust venting system. Clean any screens on the exhaust system and on the outside air intake pipe. Turn all of the controls on and make sure that they are working properly. This is also a good time to give the entire stove a good cleaning throughout.
SPRING SHUTDOWN
After the last burn in the spring, remove any remaining pellets from the hopper and the auger feed system. Scoop out the pellets and then run the auger until the hopper is empty and pellets stop flowing (this can be done by press- ing the “ON” button with the viewing door open). Vacuum out the hopper. Thoroughly clean the burn grate, fire- box, ash pan and ash traps. It may be desirable to spray the inside of the cleaned hopper with an aerosol silicone spray if your stove is in a high humidity area. The exhaust system should be thoroughly cleaned.
YEARLY SERVICING
A yearly servicing and cleaning by your Authorized “Ashley Heritage” Dealer is recommended. A fee may be charged for this service.
