CAUTION
THIS IS A MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR SOOT
AND FLY ASH REMOVAL. ASHES SHOULD BE
PLACED IN A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT
FITTING LID. THE CONTAINER SHOULD BE PLACED
ON A NON-COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR, WELL AWAY
FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, PENDING FINAL
DISPOSAL. IF ASHES ARE DISPOSED OF BY BURIAL
IN SOIL OR OTHERWISE LOCALLY DISPERSED, THEY
SHOULD BE RETAINED IN THE CLOSED CONTAINER
UNTIL ALL CINDERS ARE NO LONGER WARM.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
The surfaces of the stove may be hot. Always wear
protective gloves even when the stove is cool to the touch.
There are two areas that require daily maintenance; (1) the
firebox and (2) the fire pot.
• Remove the top baffle inside the firebox and clean
the fly ash and soot on all exposed parts using a steel
brush and ash cleaning vacuum. The use of a shop-vac
is not recommended. Talk to any authorized dealer for
information about an ash cleaning vacuum.
• The fire pot and the area around it are cleaned using the
special tool provided with the stove and an ash cleaning
vacuum. It is important to remove any unburned pellets
that may have fallen behind the burn pot.
• Complete the daily maintenance by checking the seal
on the doors. Look for pellets that may have been left
behind during loading. Check that each of the door seals
are flush with the stove and sealing properly.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
• To clean fire pot with cleaning tool, remove fire pot by
unscrewing the small spring from the lower cleaning
rod. Remove rod and pull out fire pot. Hang on to end
of cleaning tool with the hole in it. Scrape the fly ash
that has fallen through the holes of the plate in the gap
that sits below the fire pot.
• Remove the ash pan and dump the ash into a metal
container.
• Cleaning of the exhaust system will depend upon the
ash and debris content of your fuel. If your fuel has a high
ash content and/or significant debris in it, the exhaust
system will require weekly cleaning. Cleaner fuels will
allow for monthly cleaning of the exhaust system. If you
have installed clean out tees you will need to check for
cleanliness.
NOTE: A clean unit burns efficiently and will remain
trouble free!
SEASONAL CLEANING
Once every year you must clean out all of the fuel in the
hopper, firebox area, ash pan and fire pot area. Corn and
any ash can accumulate moisture over the summer months
causing the unit to rust and the fuel to mold.
It is recommended that prior to shutting down the unit in
the spring it is run on the high setting for about six hours to
help clean out the heat exchanger system, venting system
and firebox area.
