USSC 6041 How To Use And Maintain page 10

Clean Exhaust Pipe
As stated above, the USSC 6041 Multi-Fuel Stove operates on a negative pressure venting
system. The exhaust pipe is the final portion of this system and if restricted will hamper
operation of the stove and will decrease the ability to properly burnt pellets and maintain a
consistent heat. Normally, the exhaust pipe does not require as much cleaning as the burn
chamber and will only need attention every second or third cleaning of the burn chamber. As
you operate your stove you will be able to determine how often it needs to be cleaned.
Step One: Remove terminator cap and cleanout cover
Action One: Gently turn base of terminator cap (Figure 14) counter clockwise, ensuring that the
exhaust pipe does not turn as well, until the terminator cap stops and then pull off exhaust pipe.
Action Two: Gently turn cleanout cover (Figure 15) counter clockwise, ensuring that the exhaust
pipe does not turn as well, until the cleanout cover stops and then pull off exhaust pipe.

Step Two: Brush out Exhaust Pipe
Action: Figure 16 shows the exhaust pipe with fly ash and creosote in it and in need of cleaning.
Insert a 3.5" chimney brush into stovepipe as far as it will go and pull out in a swift manner.
Repeat this process until stovepipe is clear of all fly ash and creosote. Start with the outside
pipe until it is clean and then move inside and work the pipe from that side until clean. Figure 17
shows a stovepipe clear of all fly ash and creosote.
