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

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.
