inthe shut down mode for two minutes. Unplug the unit forthe power source, quickly
open the fire box door and using a long screw driver or puddy knife, scrape the crust
buildup in the front of the burnpot over into the firebox. Close the door, plug the back
into the power source and press the green start button to restart the unit.
Weekly or Monthly Ash Removal:
When the ash buildup gets high enough that it gets within one inch of the top of
burnpot, it is time for you to remove the ashes. Shut the unit down by pressing the
red button and allow the unit to cool down completely. Ashes should be placed in
a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be
placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Once you are sure the unit is
completely shut down you can use a shop vac with double filters to vacuum the ash
out of the unit. There are also ash vacuums available designed for pellet units.
Maintenance:
Any time you are performing maintenance on the 25-PFS & 25-PFSP, shut the unit
down, let it cool down and unplug from power source. Any maintenance performed
under the hopper will require the removal of the cover plate held in place by four
screws at the rear of the hopper. We recommend you use a service technician to
perform service on any electrical components. Your dealer will have trained service
technicians.
Burn-Pot
Inspect and clean weekly, scrape away creosote build-up and clear air holes. In the
bottom of the burn pot is a burn plate that is cemented in place with high temperature
cement. Holes are punched in the burn plate to allow air to flow up under the pellet
fuel. Use a 1/8 drill bit to clean these holes out weekly. If you should ever need to
replace the burn plate, use a large flat head screw driver and pry the plate out of the
burnpot. Clean the area out under the burn plate and replace with the new burn plate
using furnace cement to seal the burn plate in place.
If the burn pot ever has to be replaced, remove the hopper, the combustion blower,
the auger motors, unbolt the burn pot flange from the back of the fire box and slide
out through the rear of the unit. Replace the new burn pot assembly.
Auger Bearings
To replace the top auger bearing, remove the auger motor. Remove the four nuts
from the bearing housing, slide the bearing and auger out of the burn pot. Loosen
m"
the two set screws with a 9/64 Allen wrench, then slide bearing off of the auger shaft
and install the new bearing assembly. Be sure to tighten the set screws. To replace
the bottom auger bearing, use the same procedure as the top bearing only there is
no need to remove the fuel from the hopper.
Auger and Shaft
To replace either the top or bottom auger, follow the same procedure as used in
replacing the auger bearing. Be sure to tighten the set screws on the bearing block.
Electrical Motors
Convection Blowers:
The two 140 CFM convection blowers are located directly under the firebox. To
remove the one or both blowers, unplug the power leads from the control panel,
remove the screws holding the blower in place and slide the blower toward the rear
of the stove. To install a new convection blower, slide the new blower in place and
replace the screws.
To replace the convection blower, it is not necessary to remove the blower from the
burn pot altogether. You can remove the two screws which attach the motor to the
blower bell housing and lift the motor and impeller out of the housing and unplug the
power leads from the back of the control panel. Take the new motor and remove the
motor and impeller from the bell housing in the same manner, then put that motor
and impeller into the housing attached to the burn pot. Replace the screws and
connect the two power leads to the control board.
Auger Motor:
To replace either the top or bottom auger, disconnect the power leads on the motor
to be replaced, loosen the set bolt on the locking collar, slide the motor straight back
out of the 3/4 inch auger shaft. The shaft on the auger motor has a flat side; this shaft
slides into the 3/4 inch auger shaft. Make sure the shaft on the auger motor is turned
so the locking bolt will tighten against the flat side of the shaft on the auger motor
shaft.
The above electrical motors have bearings that do not require oiling.
Annual Firebox Cleaning:
Shut the unit down and allow to completely cool, then unplug the unit from its power
source. There are three baffle plates located in the firebox of the unit. Remove the
