CleaningPelletFinesfromtheHopperandAuger

Dependingonthetypeandqualityofpelletsburnedinthestove,someaccumulationof

pelletfinesanddustispossibleinthehopper.Thelowestpartoftheauger,nearthebackof

thestove,iswheremostfineswillaccumulate.Withthestoveoff,unplugged,completelycool

andwiththehopperempty,useautilityvacuumtoremovethefinesfromtheaugertube.If

thefinescannotberemovedfromthetopofthehopper:

 Removethebackpanelbyfirstremovingthethreescrewswhichsecuretheexhaust
