Routine Cleaning and Maintenance
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the surface or any part of the stove.
The following should be inspected periodically to ensure that the appliance is operating at its optimum
and giving you excellent heat value:
2-3 Days / Weekly Bi-Annually or 2 Tons of Fuel
Burn Pot and Liner Exhaust Vent
Ash Pan Fresh air Intake Tube
Inside Firebox Blower Mechanisms
Door Glass Heat exchanger tubes
Heat exchanger tubes Behind firebox liners
Ash pan & Door gaskets All Hinges
Door Latch Post Season Clean-up
BURN POT AND LINER (2-3 days)
This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. The burn pot and
liner should be inspected every two to three days, to ensure
proper air flow through the liner. Failure to keep the liner
clean may cause a build up of fuel past the burn pot
liner and up the drop tube. This will cause the auger to
jam and may result in pellets burning in the drop tube
and hopper.
Ensure the unit is cold before cleaning. To remove the burn pot and burn pot liner, open the door using
the door handle provided, located on the left-hand side of the stove. Swing the door open. Lift the
liner from the burn pot. Lift the burn pot from the firebox by gently lifting the front of the burn pot up
first, then sliding the assembly from the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge. Using a metal scraper,
remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s holes. Then dispose of the scrapped ashes
from the liner and from inside the burn pot. Place the burn pot back into the stove, making sure that the
pipes are properly inserted into the burn pot and the front tabs are placed in the firebox. Place the liner
back into the burn-pot making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the ignitor tube. Push
the liner up against the ignitor tube.
● If, after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows the burn pot or there
is a build up of clinkers, this is an indication that the pellet fuel quality is poor or the stove may need
cleaning. Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the slider / damper to produce
the proper clean combustion.
EXHAUST PASSAGES (2-3 days)
For bi-weekly clean out, ash may be removed from behind the steel plates by rotating the circular covers
located behind the right and left side panels (see Figure 4). To open the side panels undo one (1) T-20
screw on each side (top front). When the side cabinet doors have been opened, there are two (2) round
disks at the bottom of the firebox. Loosen, but do not remove, the screw on the disks and open, this will
allow vacuuming behind the firebox liner’s plates.
