TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT
a) Torx T-20 Screwdriver
b) 5/16" Wrench or Socket
c) 1" Soft Paint Brush
d) Soft Cloth
e) Vacuum with fine Filter Bag
OPENING THE DOOR
The door lever can be found behind the right side of the door frame. To
open the door, pivet the lever outwards and upwards until it unlocks.
BURN POT AND LINER
Cleaning of the burn pot and liner must only be done when stove is cold.
To remove the burn pot and burn pot liner, open the door using the door
handle provided (located on the right-hand side of the stove). Swing the
door open. Lift the liner from the burn pot. Lift the burn pot from the
firebox by gently lifting up the front of the burn pot, then sliding the as-
sembly from the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge. See figure 9.
This is the 'pot' where the pellets are burned. Every two (2) to three (3)
days (when the unit is cold), remove the burn-pot liner from the stove
and inspect it to ensure proper air flow through the liner. Failure to keep
the liner clean may cause a build up of fuel past the burn pot
liner and up the drop tube. This will cause the auger to jam and
may result in pellets burning in the drop tube and hopper. Using
a metal scraper, remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the
liner's holes. Then dispose of ashes from the liner and from inside the
burn-pot. Place the burn-pot back into the stove, making sure that the
pipes are properly inserted into the burn pot and locater tabs (see figure
9) are properly seated in the locater holes. Place the liner back into the
burn-pot, making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the
ignitor tube. Push the liner up against the ignitor tube.
If after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows

the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this is an indication that
the pellet fuel quality is poor or the stove may need cleaning. Check the
stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the slider / damper
to produce the proper clean combustion.

DOOR GLASS CLEANING
Cleaning of the glass must only be done when stove is cold. Open the
door by lifting the handle. The glass can be cleaned by wiping down the
outside and inside of the glass with a dry soft cloth.
If the glass has build up that can not be removed with only the cloth,
clean the glass using paper towel and a gas appliance glass cleaner, this
may be purchased through most dealers. If a gas appliance glass cleaner
is not available, use a damp paper towel dipped in fly ash to clean the
glass. After the glass has been cleaned use the dry soft cloth to wiping
down the outside and inside of the glass.
ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS
After extended use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the
gasketing on using high-temperature fiberglass gasket glue / RTU silicone
available from your local Greenfire dealer. This is important to maintain
an airtight assembly.
