Routine Cleaning and Maintenance
HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES (Weekly)
There are two (2) sets of exchanger tube scrapers; the
handles are located under the top grill (trivet). Lift the
grill and move the handles all the way up and down a
few times (ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS COLD) in order
to clean away any fly ash that may have collected on
the heat exchanger tubes. As different types of pellets
produce different amounts of ash, cleaning of the tubes
should be done on a regular basis to enable the unit to
run efficiently.
DOOR GLASS CLEANING (Weekly)
Cleaning of the glass must only be done when stove is
cold. Open the door by lifting the handle. The glass can
be cleaned by wiping down the outside and inside of the
glass with a dry soft cloth.
If the glass has build up that can not be removed with
only the cloth, clean the glass using paper towel and
a gas appliance glass cleaner, this may be purchased
through most dealers. If a gas appliance glass cleaner is not available, use a damp paper towel dipped
in y ash to clean the glass. After the glass has been cleaned use the dry soft cloth to wipe down the
outside and inside of the glass.
ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (Weekly)
After extended use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the gasketing on using high-
temperature fiberglass gasket glue available from your local dealer. This is important to maintain an
airtight assembly.
ASH BOX (Weekly)
IMPORTANT: The unit must be OFF while the ash pan is removed.
The ash box is located behind the lower door (see Figure 10). To remove the ash box, lift the latch on the
right, open the ash box door, and lift it out.
Dump the ashes into a metal container stored away from combustibles. Monitor the ash level every week.
Remember that different pellet fuels will have different ash contents. Ash content is a good indication of
fuel efficiency and quality. Refer to “SAFETY WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS” for disposal of ashes. Vacuum
the inside of the ash pan compartment inside the pedestal including the hole at the top back of the
compartment. Insert the ash box fully and close ash box door.
DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.
EXHAUST VENT (Biannually)
This vent should be cleaned every year or after two tons of pellets. We recommend contacting your
dealer for professional cleaning. To clean the vent pipe, tap lightly on the pipe to dislodge any loose ash.
Open the bottom of the “T” to dump the ash, then vacuum as much of the ash out of the vent pipe as
possible.
FRESH AIR INTAKE (Biannually)
Inspect periodically to be sure that it is not clogged with any foreign materials.
