MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the glass. If a glass cleaner is needed, see your stove dealer for
a cleaner that is specifically designed for use with wood stoves.
•
Clean out any remaining debris from the burn pot by lifting it out, tipping it
upside down, and tapping it on the ash pan. If needed, use your flat-tip
Cast Iron Wall Plates
The back wall of the combustion area is made up of two cast iron plates that protect the heat exchanger system
from direct flame. If the area behind the cast iron plates is not periodically cleaned, a complete blockage of the
air paths can result. Sufficient blockage will cause your stove to perform poorly and could result in a shut down
with ERR or ERR/CL showing in the control display.
•
Using the 6mm hex key wrench that was provided with your stove, remove the three screws securing the
lower cast plate. Once the screws are removed, the plate should pull away from the back of the stove.
•
Carefully lift the lower plate out and brush off any ash build-up from the front and back of the plate. When
finished, set the plate aside.
•
Using the same 6mm hex key wrench, remove the two screws securing the upper cast plate. It's
important to support the upper plate while the screws are being removed since this plate is heavy and will
fall if not supported.
•
Carefully lift the upper plate out and brush off any ash build-up from the front and back of the plate.
When finished, set the plate aside.
•
Examine the lower plate's gasket material for defect. Minor blemishes on the gasket are acceptable, but
replace the gasket if it's broken or if pieces are missing. (gasket material is available through your
dealer).
Heat Exchanger Area
When you remove the two cast iron plates from the back of the
combustion chamber, the entire heat exchanger system is exposed.
You will be able to see the exchanger tubes as well as the scrapers
that you activate when you pull up the exchanger cleaning rods on the
top of the stove.
•
Vacuum the ash from the heat exchanger area, especially the
area between the exchanger tubes. The soft brush and flat
tipped screwdriver can be used to clean around and between
the tubes. Clean out as much ash as possible.
•
Carefully brush and clean the uppermost interior of the burn
area.
•
Carefully brush and clean the grooves on the inside top of the fire box.
•
Do a final vacuum of the entire combustion area to remove any additional ash or debris.

screwdriver to scrape away and loosen any
remaining debris. Continue this process until
all remaining ash debris is removed and all of
the air holes in the burn pot are clear.
•
Vacuum out the ash pan.
•
Remove the ash pan and set it aside with the
burn pot.
•
Vacuum the area underneath where the burn
pot sits.
•
Using your brush and vacuum, clean the cast iron and gasket areas around
the inside perimeter of the door.
