Maintenance

INTERIOR CHAMBERS

Remove the two(2) cleanout plates on each side of the damper control. Using the cleaning tools provided, clean all ash and fuel matter from the burn chamber. This may need to be done daily depending on fuel consumption.

Periodically remove and clean the burnpot and the area inside the burnpot housing. In particular it is advisable to clean out the holes in the burnpot to remove any build up that may prevent air from moving through the burn pot freely.

Placing the Burnpot and the Agitator in a bucket of water and allowing to soak will help with the clinker build-up and removal. Remove the two cleanout slides on each side of the burnpot at the rear of the burn chamber to clean out all ash.

Remove the hearth and clean out the exhaust duct of all ash.

If a vacuum is used to clean your furnace, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ash removal. Some regular vacuum cleaner (i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room.

ASH DISPOSAL

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.

CHECK AND CLEAN THE HOPPER

Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any fuel or fuel matter that is sticking to the hopper surface. Clean as needed.

GASKETS

Inspect the main door and glass window gaskets periodically. The main door may need to be removed to have frayed, broken, or compacted gaskets replaced by your Authorized “American Harvest” Dealer.

Also, be careful not to damage the gaskets on the backside of the cleanouts on the front of the unit. If gaskets become torn or damaged, they must be replaced.

BLOWER MOTORS

Clean the air holes on the motors of both the draft fan and room air blowers annually. Remove the draft fan from the exhaust duct and clean out the internal fan blades as part of your fall start-up. A new gasket may be purchased from U S Stove’s Customer Service Department.

Replace the customer supplied air filter on the back of the furnace on a regular basis if installed.

PAINTED SURFACES

Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp cloth. If scratches appear, or you wish to renew your paint, contact your Authorized “American Harvest” Dealer to obtain a can of suitable high-temperature paint.

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 temperature ceramic glass of the correct size and thickness may be used. Contact your Authorized “American Harvest” 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 systems 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

furnace a good cleaning throughout.

SPRING SHUTDOWN

After the last burn in the spring, remove any remaining fuel from the hopper and the auger feed system. Scoop out the fuel and then run the auger until the hopper is empty and fuel stops flowing (this can be done by pressing the “ON” button with the viewing door open). Vacuum out the hopper. Thoroughly clean the burnpot, and firebox. It may be desirable to spray the inside of the cleaned hopper with an aerosol silicone spray if your furnace is in a high humidity area. The exhaust system should be thoroughly cleaned.

YEARLY SERVICING

A yearly servicing and cleaning by your Authorized “American Harvest” Dealer is recommended. A fee may be charged for this service.
