Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

The following list of components should be inspected and maintained routinely to ensure that the

appliance is operating at its’ optimum and giving you excellent heat value:

Burn Pot Liner

Ignitor Tube

Air Intake Tube

Burn Pot

Ignitor Hole

BURNER POT AND LINER (2-3 days)
Every two to three days (when the unit is cold), remove the burn-pot liner from the stove. Using a

metal scraper, remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s holes. Then dispose of

the scraped 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. Place the liner back into the burn-pot,

making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the ignitor tube (shown in Figure 8). 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, the stove may need cleaning,

or the air adjusted. Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the slider / damper

to produce the proper clean combustion.

HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES (2-3 days)
A handle is located in the center of the stove just above the door (shown in Figure 6). This handle is to be

pulled up and down a few times (ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS COLD) in order to clean away any fly ash that

may have collected on the heat exchanger tubes. As different types of pellets produce different amounts

of ash, cleaning of the tubes should be done on a regular basis to enable the unit to run efficiently.

ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (weekly)
After extended use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the gasketing on using high-

temperature fiberglass gasket glue available from your local dealer. This is important to maintain an

airtight assembly.

DOOR GLASS CLEANING (2-3 days)
Cleaning of the glass must only be done when stove is cold. Open the door by lifting the handle. The glass

can be cleaned by wiping down the outside and inside of the glass with a dry soft cloth.
