Bi-Weekly Maintenance (or every 10 bags of pellets)
Clean the Heat Exchange Tubes
WARNING:
The front edge of the
hopper lid becomes very
hot, do not touch the area
below the handle.
With the stove cool (or using the
scraper rod tool), move the heat
exchange cleaner up and down
several times.
Keep the door closed so the
flyash does not enter the room.
Open the hopper lid.
WARNING:
This rod becomes very hot
during operation. Use the
scraper rod tool to move the
cleaner.
Store the scraper rod tool by hanging
it on the hanger on the back of the
stove.
Vacuum Hopper
Run the stove until the pellets run out. Open the hopper and vacuum out the entire hopper. The
dust and any other debris near the bottom should be removed to prevent excessive build-up.
Cleaning the Optional Gold Surfaces (Door and optional Grill)
Fingerprints or other marks left on gold surfaces may become etched in place if they are not wiped
clean prior to turning the stove on. Clean the gold with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (make sure
the heater is cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.
