8. Clean the combustion blower wheel with a brush and
a vacuum cleaner. Note: Do not use a household
vacuum to clean the stove. We recommend that you
use a shop vacuum that is equipped with a fine dust
filter called a HEPA filter or a vacuum specially made
for fly ash and soot. USING A VACUUM WHICH
IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A FINE DUST FILTER
WILL BLOW FLY ASH AND SOOT OUT INTO THE
ROOM.
NOTE: THE STOVE MUST BE COMPLETELY OUT
BEFORE YOU VACUUM THE STOVE. LIVE PEL-
LETS, IF SUCKED INTO THE VACUUM WILL LIGHT
THE VACUUM ON FIRE AND MAY ULTIMATELY
CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.
9. Use a brush to clean the flue, being careful not to
damage the ESP probe, see Fig. 30. The flue goes
straight through into the vent pipe (Fig.7) therefore,
the vent pipe can also be cleaned to some extent
through the flue outlet.
10. Reinstall blower cover and relatch.
11.Slide ash pan into stove and latch the door.

Soot and Fly ash
The products of combustion will con-
tain small particles of fly ash which must
be removed from the inner walls of the
stove and from the venting system
periodically. Removing fly ash and
soot improves efficiency, insures
that the flue venting passageway is
clear and unobstructed. The stove
should be cleaned after each ton
of pellets (50 bags) and the
venting system inspected
and cleaned after each
heating season.
