Routine Cleaning And Maintenance - Enviro Maxx Owner's Manual

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

The following list of components should be inspected and maintained routinely to ensure that the
appliance is operating at its optimum and giving you excellent heat value. The appliance, flue gas
connector and the chimney flue require regular cleaning. Check them for blockage prior to re-lighting
after a prolonged shut down period.
Check the Burn Pot Liner DAILY
Weekly
Burn Pot and Liner - Empty
Heat Exchanger Tubes
Ash Box
Door Glass
Inside Firebox
Ash Pan and Door Gaskets
Door Latch
TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT:
Torx T-20 Screwdriver, 1⁄4",
Vacuum with fine filter bag
BURNER POT AND LINER (Checked Daily/Emptied Weekly)
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 assembly from the air intake
tube and the ignitor cartridge.
This is the 'pot' where the pellets are burned. When the unit is cold, remove the burn-pot liner from
the stove. Using a metal scrapper, remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner's holes.
Then dispose of the scrapped 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. 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.
HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES (Weekly)
There are two (2) sets of exchanger tube scrapers; the
handles are located under the top grill (trivet). Lift the
grill and move the handles all the way up and down a
few times (ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS COLD) in order
to clean away any fly ash that may have collected on
the heat exchanger tubes. As different types of pellets
produce different amounts of ash, cleaning of the tubes
should be done on a regular basis to enable the unit to
run efficiently.
