NOTE: BE SURE THE STOVE IS TURNED OFF, THE POWER CORD IS
UNPLUGGED, AND THE UNIT IS COLD BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING PERIODS:
A.
The heat exchange tubes in the stove should be cleaned weekly.
B.
The fire box should be cleaned every 7 to 10 days.
C.
The interior ash chambers should be inspected and cleaned as needed.
D.
The chimney pipe and cap should be checked annually for soot buildup.
E.
Combustion blower should be cleaned as needed. Check as least semi-
annually.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly
cooled.
WARNING: MANY HOME VACUUM CLEANERS ALLOW ASH TO ESCAPE INTO
THE ROOM AIR; HOWEVER, VACUUMING IS RECOMMENDED OCCASIONALLY
TO AID IN SEASONAL CLEANING AND KEEP THE UNIT FREE OF EXCESS ASH.
DISCARD THE VACUUM BAG AFTER EACH USE ON THE STOVE.

WARNING: Failure to clean the stove is a leading and preventable cause of stove
malfunctions. Fuel types and installations may dramatically affect the cleaning intervals
required for your stove. Sampling different brands of fuel to find the cleanest burning fuel
available in your area can greatly reduce the amount of maintenance required.
