Recommended Maintenance Schedule; Window Cleaning - Dansons Group CAN/CSA B365 Operation Manual

WARNING: Disconnect the electrical cord prior to opening the sides of your stove or opening the
exhaust system for any inspection, cleaning, maintenance or service work. NEVER perform any
inspection, cleaning, maintenance or service on a HOT STOVE or when the cord is plugged in.
Proper care of your pellet stove or heater is required for peak, sustained performance. The need for
frequent cleaning depends upon:
- amount of pellets burned
- pellet quality

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

WEEKLY
W (or every
2-3 days)
BURN GRATE -
residue that may stick to the grate bottom or sides.
Ensure the holes are clean and unrestricted.
CAUTION: When replacing the grate, make sure it
is properly seated in the burn pot (ie. sitting level,
front to back, left to right).
BURN POT -
Remove the burn grate. Clean out the
burn pot as needed. Do not push the ash to the
back of the pot as this will restrict the air flow and
affect the performance of this appliance.
HEAT TUBES -
pull the HEAT TUBE SCRAPER ROD forward and back-
ward a few times. As different types of pellets
produce different amounts of ash, cleaning the
tubes enables the heat exchange to operate
efficiently. CAUTION: On a burning stove, the scraper
rod is HOT or may not move due to metal expansion.
ASH BIN -
Monitor the ash level on a weekly basis.
Ash content is a good indication of fuel efficiency
and quality. A HOME SHOP VAC MAY BE USED TO
REMOVE ASH FROM YOUR STOVE *ONLY* WHEN THE
ASHES HAVE COOLED. Refer to your TECHNICAL GUIDE
for more information on the safe disposal of ash.
ASH TRAPS -
firebox area. This will expose the 2 ash traps and the
pellet fuel drop chute. Fly ash may be removed by vacuuming inside the trap area with an approved
ash vacuum (A HOME SHOP VAC MAY BE USED TO REMOVE ASH FROM YOUR STOVE *ONLY* WHEN THE
ASHES HAVE COOLED). A bottle cleaning brush can help remove build-up inside the traps.

WINDOW CLEANING -

cleaner to remove heavy build-up on the window. Do NOT use abrasive chemical cleaners. A 000
steel wool pad may be used to scour any hard-to-remove creosote and carbon accumulation. Finish
your cleaning procedure by washing down the glass with vinegar & water to remove cleaner residue.
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR STOVE WITH BROKEN GLASS!
