England's Stove Works 55-TRPCB120 Installation & Operation Manual page 34

 Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after the fire has gone out and
EVEN after the Shut‐Down cycle is complete. Always use extreme caution when handling
potentially hot stove parts, even if you think they should be cold.
 Monthly maintenance should include the steps listed in this section AS WELL AS the steps
listed in the "Daily Maintenance" and "Weekly Maintenance" section.
 Intervals between monthly cleanings will depend on the duration that the stove is burning on a
daily basis. A stove which is operated continuously will need more frequent monthly cleanings
than a stove which is used periodically as supplemental heat.
 A good rule of thumb for monthly maintenance is that it should be done each time an entire
ton of pellets is burned OR once per month, whichever comes first.
 If excess ash accumulation is found in the exhaust chamber or venting system during monthly
maintenance, the interval between cleanings should be reduced to eliminate the possibility of
poor stove performance due to ash accumulation.
 A specially designed ash vacuum and pellet stove cleaning kit is available from the England's
Stove Works website; please see: store.heatredefined.com
Venting Pipe Cleaning
 Low spots and direction changes in the venting system (such as tees and elbows) are areas for
potential fly‐ash and creosote accumulation. INSPECT these areas diligently to keep the
venting system in safe operating condition.
 Depending on the specific type of venting system your stove is connected to, it may be possible
to remove the clean‐out tee cover and simply run a pipe brush up the pipe to remove any fly‐
ash accumulation.
 Horizontal runs of pipe, such as from the exhaust connection on the stove to the vertical
transition, will accumulate fly ash and should be inspected carefully and brushed clean.
 Check the termination cap to be certain it is not clogged or restricted by any fly‐ash
accumulation.
 After thoroughly cleaning the venting system, reseal any disassembled seams with high
temperature silicone (Part # AC‐RTV3) if applicable to your venting system.
 Inspect seams that were not disassembled to be certain a smoke‐tight seal is still being made.
 After prolonged use, leaks in the venting system can usually be found by searching for fly‐ash
deposits on the outside of the pipe. Carefully check for leaks in the venting system and seal
them accordingly.
 Although most pellet venting systems are designed to last a lifetime, pellet fly‐ash can be
corrosive under certain conditions. When cleaning your venting system, examine the pipe
carefully for any signs of deterioration and replace sections that show excessive wear. It is
unlikely that this will ever be a concern, but maintaining your venting system in safe operating
condition is crucial to safe stove operation.
