ASH PAN
The ash pan is located under the burner. Always dispose of the ashes into
a metal container (never use cardboard, plastic or wood containers) stored
away from combustibles. Monitor the ash level every week. Remember
different pellet fuels will have different ash contents. Ash content is a
good indication of fuel efficiency and quality. Refer to "Safety Warnings
and Recommendations" for disposal of ashes.
Freestanding: To remove the ash pan, simply turn the knob and pull
out towards the front.
Insert: To remove the ash pan open the door, remove the burn pot liner
and the burn pot, then pull the ash pan out.
DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.

HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES
Open the door and the rod is located under the unit top, in the center
of the stove just behind the door (see Figure 11). This handle is to be
pushed in and out 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.

FRESH AIR INTAKE
Inspect periodically to be sure that the intake pipe is not clogged with
any foreign materials.
EXHAUST VENT
This vent should be cleaned every year or after two (2) tons of pellets
(whichever happens first). We recommend contacting your dealer for
professional cleaning. To clean the vent pipe, tap lightly on the pipe to
dislodge any loose ash. Open the bottom of the "T" to dump the ash, then
vacuum as much of the ash out of the vent pipe as possible.
BLOWER MECHANISMS
Unplug the stove then open the right and left side panels to access the
two blowers. Vacuum all dust from motors and impellers. The convec-
tion blower should be oiled twice yearly using 3 in 1 oil or similar light
oil. The combustion blower requires no lubrication. Check gaskets and
replace if needed.
ALL HINGES
Check all the hinges on the unit to ensure proper movement.
