Clean the blower blades, blower housing,
d
and exhaust box. You may wish to use a
vacuum to pull ash out of the vent system.
Make sure the cap is free of debris
(especially if it has a screen that could
become blocked).
Check the vent sections for creosote
accumulation (indicating a poorly burning
stove). Accumulation over 1/4" must be
removed.
On vertically vented systems, the dirtiest
portion is often the point where the vent turns
upwards (i.e. the "Tee"). Fortunately, the "Tee"
has a built-in clean out cover. Remove the
cover and vacuum out. While open, use a
flashlight to look up the pellet vent to check for
build-up.
