Maintaining Your Stove
Pro Tip
The type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you have to clean your fire pot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content, it may be necessary to clean the
fire pot more than once a day.
Poor quality fuel will cause clinkers to form in the fire pot. Clinkers are formed when dirt, ash
or a non-burnable substance is heated to 2000 deg. F (1093 deg. C) and becomes glass-
like.
Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture content take heat from the fuel and
tends to cool the Stove, robbing heat from your home.
Damp pellet fuel can clog the feed system.
CAUTION!
Handle glass assembly with care and refer to maintenance instructions. When cleaning glass:
•
Avoid striking, scratching or slamming glass.
•
Do NOT clean glass when hot
•
Do NOT use abrasive cleaners
•
Do NOT operate with glass cracked, broken or scratched
WARNING!
Glass is 5mm thick high temperature heat resistant ceramic glass.
•
DO NOT REPLACE with any other material
•
Alternate material may shatter and cause injury

Maintaining Your Stove
Electrical Components
•
Identify and remove any debris
•
Verify all connections are secure
ANNUALLY
OR
AS NEEDED
Exhaust Blower
•
Remove left side panel to access and remove exhaust blower
•
Vacuum any debris from the fan blades and blower housing
Zone 3 - Venting
ANNUALLY
OR
AS NEEDED
Termination Cap
•
Remove termination cap
•
Brush out to remove dust and hard buildup
Vent Components
•
Soot, creosote, and fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. This build up will
occur more quickly in horizontal sections and elbows.
•
Use the appropriate sized chimney brush to remove ash and
buildup from the venting
Outside Air Kit
•
Ensure there are no obstructions in the outside air kit cap
Caution!
When wood pellets are burned at a low temperature, they produces organic vapors which combine with mois-
ture to form creosote vapors.
Creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a newly-started or a low-temperature fire. As
a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When more heat is called for, this residue can be
ignited, which creates an extremely hot fire in the chimney flue; this may damage the chimney or even destroy
your home.
Your chimney should be inspected once every few months during the heating season to determine if a creosote
or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of
a chimney fire.
