Exhaust Chamber; Monthly - England's Stove Works Imperial Installation & Operation Manual

 Monthly maintenance should include the steps listed in this section AS WELL AS
the steps listed in the "Daily Maintenance" and "Bi‐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.
Exhaust Chamber Cleaning
The exhaust chamber of the stove was intentionally designed as an ash accumulation
area. Allowing ash to accumulate here prevents excess ash build‐up in the combustion
blower and the venting system. Similarly, the exhaust chamber is easily accessible via
the two exhaust chamber clean‐out ports located in the firebox.
*Before cleaning out the exhaust chamber, first perform the cleaning of the firebox
shelf as listed under bi‐weekly maintenance.
 Using a
5
/ " socket wrench, remove the screws which hold each of the clean‐out
16
covers in place. The cleanout covers are located on the back wall of the firebox, near
the bottom.
 Remove the cleanout covers from the firebox and BEFORE vacuuming the chamber
out, observe the type and quantity of ash build‐up. The ash deposited in the exhaust
chamber should be light, fluffy, grey or white in color, and should be no higher than
half way up the clean‐out port.
 Do NOT allow the ash to accumulate higher than about half way up the cleanout
port; significant ash accumulation in this area can "choke" the combustion blower
and cause poor stove performance.

Using a utility type vacuum cleaner, vacuum the fly ash out of the exhaust chamber.
A short piece of hose can be attached to the end of the utility vacuum line and can
be useful in reaching the ash which accumulates between the clean‐out ports.
