REQUIRED ROUTINE CLEANING
Proper care of your VULCAN “V” Series pellet shop and home heater is required for peak, sustained performance.
The need for and frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of pellets burned, pellet quality, length of time
since last cleaning and the quality of the fire. While becoming acquainted with your new stove and the types of
local pellets, inspect your BURN GRATE, BURN POT, HEAT TUBES, ASH PIT, and WINDOW daily and clean
until a pattern of cleaning requirement is determined. As heating demands increase the need for stove and
exhaust system cleaning and ash removal will increase.
WARNING: Disconnect the electrical cord prior to opening the sides of your stove or opening the exhaust
system for any inspection, cleaning, maintenance or service work. NEVER perform any inspection,
cleaning, maintenance or service on a HOT STOVE or when the electrical cord is plugged in.
EVERY 2 –3 DAYS / WEEKLY
BURN GRATE: [COLD STOVE ONLY] Clean as
needed, scraping off any residue that may stick to grate
bottom or sides. Ensure that the holes are clean and
unrestricted. CAUTION: When replacing the grate make
sure it fits properly in the burn pot with the lip on the burn
grate, toward the front of your stove.
BURN POT: [COLD STOVE ONLY] Remove the
burn grate. Clean out the burn pot as needed. Do not
push the fly ash to the back of the pot, as this will restrict
the air flow and performance of the appliance.
HEAT TUBES: [COLD STOVE ONLY} With your
stove's main door closed pull the HEAT TUBE
SCRAPER ROD forward and backwards a few times. As
different types of pellets produce different amounts of
ash, cleaning the tubes enables the heat exchange to
operate efficiently.
CAUTION: On a burning stove the heat tube scraper rod
will be hot.
ASH PIT: Monitor the ash level on a weekly basis.
Ash content is a good indication of fuel efficiency and quality. Refer to “Safety Precaution” for safe disposal
of ashes.
WINDOW CLEANING: [COLD STOVE ONLY as hot glass may cause serious burns] To enjoy a
clear view of the fire you should clean your window as needed with a soft cloth or paper towel. You may use
a glass cleaner to remove heavy build up on the window. HOME TIP: Dampen a piece of newsprint with
water, dip this into the fly ash, then rub down the glass. This works like a charm. Do not use abrasive
chemical cleaners
DO NOT OPERATE STOVE WITH BROKEN GLASS AS LEAKAGE OF FLUE GASES MAY RESULT.
