VACCUM USE
If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using a vacuum designed for
ashes.
Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room. Your vacuum or shop
vac may have a special filter or bag available to eliminate this leakage.
CLEANING
a. Heat Exchange Tubes – Your ECO-35 stove is designed with a built-in
heat exchanger tube cleaner. This should be used weekly to remove
accumulated ash on the tubes. Slide the cleaning rod back and forth two
or three times from front to back (refer to figure 18). When finished, push
the cleaning rod back in.
b. Baffle: Remove the baffle and scrape off ashes. Slide both sides toward
the center to remove the baffle(Figure 20) Use a vacuum is necessary. In
some cases, you will need to remove creosote on the baffle, which can
accumulate rapidly under certain conditions. A small wire brush can be
used. It is important to remove this creosote because it is highly
combustible and could cause premature corrosion.
*When replacing the baffle, make sure that the open side of the baffle
is located on the left.
c. Chamber walls: Periodically, you must vacuum the ashes that may have
accumulated on the main walls of the combustion chamber. START BY
REMOVING THE DECORATIVE MASONRY-LIKE PANELS, WHICH ARE
SIMPLY HELD BY CLIPS. The use of a vacuum is necessary. There is
also a cleaning outlet located behind the left side panel of the combustion
chamber. Remove this panel using a screw driver. Loosen the adjustment
screws then remove the securing screws(Figure 21). Slide the wall toward
right(Figure 22), tilt it (Figure 23) then remove it from the combustion
chamber. Scrape off ashes. You will notice a small rectangular cleaning
outlet. Inspect behind this outlet (see Figure 24) Insert the vacuum tip
through the cleaning outlet and clean thoroughly. REPEAT THIS
OPERATION AT LEAST ONCE PER TON OF PELLETS BURNED UNTIL
YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW ASHES ACCUMULATE WITH YOUR
OPERATING PRACTICES.
d. Convection blowers - Clean the blower’s protective wire mesh regularly
as dust and hair build-ups on the mesh will reduce the efficiency of the
blowers and may cause the stove to overheat.
