Maintenance & Cleaning
A majority of all problems with pellet stoves are related to general maintenance and cleaning. Regularly
cleaning your stove will allow it to function properly and extends the life of most of the stove's components.
Due to differences in fuel quality, stove cleaning intervals can vary wildly. However, the cleaner the stove is,
the more efficiently it will burn.
WARNING!
Never perform cleaning or maintenance on a hot stove.
Allow unit to cool completely.
Interior components may still be hot, even when stove
surfaces are cool to the touch. A protective glove is
recommended.

Side Panel Access

In order to access many of the areas needed to clean, you must first open the side panels that are
magnetically held in place.
Each side panel simply pulls free from the front and is hinged from the back to fully expose the internals.
WARNING!
Never touch the scraper rod while the stove is hot or running. Severe burns can occur.
Glass Air-Wash System
Below the front door opening, there is a slide damper that can be opened and closed. This is part of the
glass air-wash system.
Keeping the slider to the right will open up the damper and allow some room air to be drawn in and
gently washed up the inside of the glass to help prevent excess soot buildup on the glass.
Optimal location is set to about 1/2 way open, but feel free to experiment for best results for your
application.

Heat Exchanger: Daily or as Needed
Clean the heat exchanger with the pre-installed scraper unit at the
top of the stove when the stove is off and cool.
Pull the chrome knob in and out a few times. (Keep the front
door shut to contain all of the ash as it falls)
The soot and ash will fall down to the burn pot and ash pan area.
Keeping the heat exchange tubes clean will keep your stove's
heat exchange process efficient.

Clinkers may remain hot for several minutes
after they are pulled from the burn pot.
Never perform service with power supplied
to the unit.
