Bi-Weekly Maintenance (or every 10 bags of pellets)
Flyash Removal
This heater was designed to allow for easy flyash removal with the included tools. However, to
ease maintenance, several pellet stove owners have purchased vacuums specifically made to
remove flyash. Furthermore, some of these vacuums are heat-resistant to allow for flyash
removal while it is still warm. Do not use a standard vacuum on this appliance (except to
clean the pellet dust out of the hopper). Standard vacuums may spread the fine particles
inside the flyash into the home and are not heat-resistant (hot flyash may cause the internal
portion of vacuums to ignite).
Clean the Hopper
Run the stove until the pellets run out. Open the hopper and remove the dust and debris near
the bottom of the hopper.
Clean the Exterior
Painted or enameled surfaces may be dusted or wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive or solvent-based cleaners.
WARNING: Do not clean enamel surfaces when hot – this may cause the surface to crack.
Clean the Heat Exchange Tubes
WARNING:
The front edge of the
stove becomes very hot,
do not touch the area
below the handle.
Keep the door closed so the
flyash does not enter the room.
Use the included tool to move the
heat exchanger rod up and down.
NOTE: The tool hangs on
the back of the stove.
