Burn-Pot Cleaning
(Recommended Frequency of 1 – 2 days*)
The combustion blower comes on at high speed once an hour to blow
the by-products of combustion out of the Burn-Pot. However, the Burn-
Pot should be cleaned more thoroughly after burning about 10 bags of
pellets. The Burn-Pot has a number of holes in the bottom and sides that
provide combustion air to the pellets. The extreme temperatures in the
Burn-Pot can cause the impurities in the pellets to form ash and clinkers.
When the stove is cool, open the front door and lift out the cast iron Burn-
Pot. Scrape the inner bottom and sides of the pot with a screwdriver to
remove all ash and clinkers from these surfaces. Make sure all the holes
in the pot are open. Place the Burn-Pot in the hole from which it was
removed. Make sure the high side of the pot is rotated toward the front
of the stove (see Figure 34). Push the Burn-Pot down so surface A is
tight against the steel supporting the pot. Do not substitute any other
grate or pot for use in this stove.

Cleaning Glass
DO NOT CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN THE STOVE IS HOT.
CAUTION: Do not open the front door when the stove is hot.
Follow the steps listed on Page 25 for opening the glass door.
Clean the glass using a soft cloth or paper towel and a house-
hold glass cleaner or gas stove window cleaner. A commercial
glass cleaner designed for stoves is recommended. Do not use
abrasive cleaners. A damp cloth with a small amount of ash
from the firebox can also be used to clean the glass.
Servicing Glass
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO ABUSE THE DOOR ASSEMBLY BY
STRIKING OR SLAMMING IT. IF THE DOOR ASSEMBLY OR GLASS IS
BROKEN OR DAMAGED, THEY MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE HEATER
CAN BE SAFELY OPERATED. USE ONLY COMPONENTS PROVIDED BY
THE MANUFACTURER AS REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Replacing Glass:
1. Remove door from stove by lifting door up and off hinge pins: Place
door on a protected (towel) clean flat surface with the inside of the door
facing up. First, remove the door rope and the 12 hex nuts fastening
the glass retainers. Then carefully remove broken glass one piece at
a time (protective gloves are recommended).
2. Clean area where the glass with gasket will be installed.
3. Install new glass with gasket (use only factory 5 mm glass with glass
channel gasket. Do not substitute). Carefully reinstall glass retainers.
Be very careful not to overtighten hex nuts.
4. Install new door seal.
5. Reinstall door and adjust door latch and hinge if necessary for proper
seal.
Ash Pots Removal and Cleaning
(Recommended Frequency of 2 Days - 2 Weeks*)
NOTE: If an optional log set is installed, carefully remove logs before
removing ash pots. Great care should be used in handling logs to prevent
damage. To ensure the longevity of the log assembly, never attempt to
handle logs while hot. Use an all-purpose brush to periodically remove
fly ash build-up from the log assembly. By using the decorative log set,
the maintenance frequency for ash removal and cleaning of the glass
may need to be increased.
CAUTION: Do not remove the ash pots when the stove is hot.
remove the ash pots, rotate open front casting and then front door (as
explained on Page 25). Gloves are recommended when reaching inside
the firebox to lift ash pots up and out of firebox. When ash pots are free
of ash and cleaned, replace in the appropriate sides making sure the pots
are fully seated to the bottom of the firebox. Once in place, close and latch
the glass door and close the front cast iron door (see Figure 35).
CAUTION: Disposal of Ashes - Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container should be
placed on a non-combustible floor or the ground - well away from
all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders
have been thoroughly cooled.
A
Reinstall the ash pots by placing them in the left and right bottom of
A
firebox making sure they are seated on the bottom of the firebox. Note
that if the ash pots do not seal tightly to the stove, the control board may
detect a leak and shut the stove down.

damper may require more frequent cleaning and stove main-
