Weekly Maintenance (or every 5 bags of pellets)
Flyash Removal
This heater was designed to allow for easy flyash removal with the included tools. However, to ease
maintenance, several pellet stove owners have purchased vacuums specifically made to remove
flyash. Furthermore, some of these vacuums are heat-resistant to allow for flyash removal while it is still
warm. Do not use a standard vacuum on this appliance (except to clean the pellet dust out
of the hopper). Standard vacuums may spread the fine particles inside the flyash into the home and
are not heat-resistant (hot flyash may cause the internal portion of vacuums to ignite).
Clean the Hopper
Run the stove until the pellets run out. Open the hopper and remove the dust and debris near the
bottom of the hopper.
Clean the Heat Exchange Tubes
WARNING:
The front of the
heater becomes very
hot during operation.
Wait until the heater
has cooled before
cleaning the heat
exchange tubes.
Keep the door closed so the
flyash does not enter the room.
Cleaning the Optional Plated Surfaces
Fingerprints or other marks left on the plated surfaces may become etched in place if they are not
wiped clean prior to turning the stove on. Clean the surface with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth
(make sure the heater is cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may dull the finish.
