  • Page 6 Your Stove Objective: In this lesson you learn how to properly clean the USSC 6041 Multi-Fuel Stove so that it is free of ash, creosote, and fly ash; thus allowing air to freely move though air vents. You will learn to identify key areas of the stove where airflow can be constricted and proper cleaning techniques to complete the task.
  • Page 7 Used to scrape hardened ash from ash pan. Cleaning the Burn Chamber The USSC 6041 Multi-Fuel Stove operates on a negative pressure venting system. Essentially, this means the stove draws air from the room it is in and pulls it through the stove for oxygen.
  • Page 8 Step Two: Clean Ash Pan and Vermiculite Action One: Use paintbrush to remove fly ash from vermiculite by brushing in the direction of the grooves until all fly ash is removed (Figure 4). Place vermiculite aside in a safe place. (Caution: Vermiculite is particularly brittle and if handled roughly could break) Action Two: Put ash pan and agitator into bucket of warm water and allow to sit until hardened ash is loosened.
  • Page 9 Step Four: Vacuum Burn Chamber and Rear Vent Chamber Action One: Use Ash-Vac to thoroughly vacuum burn chamber of all ash (Figure 10). Action Two: Locate four entry points to the rear vent chamber, behind the burn chamber, as indicated in Figure 11 where the yellow circles are. For the two lower entry points of the rear vent chamber, lift and remove trapdoors.
  • Page 10 Clean Exhaust Pipe As stated above, the USSC 6041 Multi-Fuel Stove operates on a negative pressure venting system. The exhaust pipe is the final portion of this system and if restricted will hamper operation of the stove and will decrease the ability to properly burnt pellets and maintain a consistent heat.

  • Page 15 Less creosote buildup Step Two: Purchase Pellets An important consideration prior to starting your USSC 6041 Multi-Fuel Stove is having an appropriate amount of pellets on hand. On an average winter, you may burn through a 3 tons of pellets. Pellets normally come in 40 pounds bags. The higher the feed rate you set your stove to, the more pellets you will go through in a week.
  • Page 16 pellets in the ground, even if on a pallet. This will prevent mice and other animals trying to dig into the pellets from the underside. Also, placing a waterproof tarp over the pellets helps cut down on moisture. Step Four: Check Pellets For Moisture As stated before, it is important not to use pellets with too much moisture in them.
  • Page 17 Turn Stove On Action One: Prior to operating your USSC 6041 Multi-Fuel Stove Ensure all doors, lids, and cleanouts are properly closed, and then turn on.

  • Page 20 Objective: In this lesson you learn how to adjust the pellet feed rate, agitator speed, draft fan, and damper on your USSC 6041 Multi-Fuel Stove to maintain a consistent heat. Motivator: A properly adjusted USSC 6041 Multi-Fuel Stove will evenly burn pellets, with minimal ash produced, and produce a predictable level of heat.
  • Page 21 List the Properties of a Good and Poor Flame Before we start adjusting the stove, it is important to know what a good flame is and what a poor flame is. In this portion of the lesson a picture followed by a description of each flame is given. (Figures 23 through 28).
  • Page 22 Adjust Draft Fan and Damper Action One: The true science in operating the USSC 6041 Multi-Fuel Stove is in the adjustments made to the draft fan and the damper. By increasing the draft fan you supply additional oxygen to the burn chamber permitting a higher flame and the ability to burn more pellets.
  • Page 23 Is Airflow Constricted After approximately a week of constantly running your USSC 6041 Multi-Fuel Stove, ash buildup will start to constrict the vents and cause poor airflow. This may occur earlier if the burn quality of pellets is not monitored, and pellets are permitted to burn poorly.
