Service & Maintenance
A. Shut-down Procedure
The best way to shut down the appliance is to simply
let it run out of fuel, and shut down naturally as the
temperature cools. This method is highly recommended
for the end of season shut-down.
To shut-down otherwise, turn the mode selector to
"OFF' verify by ensuring that the Status light goes out.
The shut-down protocol of the circuit board will safely
allow the fire to go out. All motors will stop when cool,
and only the POWER light will remain lit. It is now safe
to un-plug the electrical supply.

Soot- Formation and Need For Removal-
When
wood is burned, the products of combustion combine
with moisture to form a soot residue which accumulates
on the flue lining. When ignited, this soot makes an
extremely hot fire. The entire venting system should
be inspected at least once every two months during
the heating season to determine if a soot buildup
has occurred. If soot has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
If you experience a chimney fire; Turn the control to
"Off". Keep appliance doors and hopper lid closed and
latched. Notify the fire department. Do not operate the
appliance until the chimney and connector have been
inspected and approved by a chimney professional.

NOTICE: For recommendation purposes only - More frequent cleaning is necessary if heavy buildup is
