WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
FINES TRAY COVER
Empty Fines Tray
The small Fines Tray in the side of the stoker
should be removed and emptied
To remove the Fines Tray, rst open the door
on the left rear of the stove. Next, loosen the thumb
screws holding the Fines Tray Cover, g# 20. Next,
turn the cover 90 degrees and slide out the Tray as
shown. If the Tray has over- owed, use a vacuum
cleaner to reach into the opening and remove the
excess material.
Cleaning Glass While Unit Is Burning:
Caution: The glass and door frame will be
hot, gloves must be worn.
Turn the temperature control to lowest setting
and allow the stove to cool down. Have all cleaning
supplies ready and close by. Take note at which # the
Feed Adjuster is set, g 14. Turn Feed Adjuster knob
to "Ash Out". (This is the ash removal setting.) This
setting turns "off" the Combustion Blower and Feeder
Motor but does not turn "off" the Draft Motor. Now
the viewing door can be opened with minimal exhaust
leakage. Use a safety razor in handle and scrape the
inside of the glass with the blade almost at to the
surface, Fig 21. If further cleaning is necessary, the
window can now be cleaned with liquid cleaner and
a non synthetic cloth. CAUTION: Do not spray
cleaner directly on Hot Glass. If the cleaning takes
more than 4 minutes, the Distribution Blower will start
to cycle up and down to indicate the Feed Adjuster
knob was left in the "Ash Out" (ash removal setting).
This is not a problem, just remember to return the
Feed Adjuster to its previous setting when completed.

Soot and Fly Ash
The products of combustion will contain small
particles of y ash. The y ash will collect in the
exhaust venting system and restrict the ow of the
ue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs
during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of
the room heater, will lead to some soot formation
which will collect in the exhaust venting system.
The exhaust venting system should be inspected
at least once every year to determine if cleaning is
necessary.
