GLASS CLEANING:
(APPROXIMATE FREQUENCY: 3—7 DAYS OR 280 LBS PELLETS)
To enjoy a clear view of the fire you should clean your window as needed with a soft cloth or paper towel. Only
clean the glass when the stove is off and cool. Use a Fireplace glass cleaner or vinegar & water to remove heavy
build up from the window. An alternate glass cleaning method is to wipe the glass with water moistened news‐
paper that has been lightly dipped in fly ash.
HEAT EXCHANGER CLEANING:
Under normal use, ash will build up on your stoves heat ex‐
change tubes and rear convection panel. This ash will thermally
insulate these components resulting in reduced heat transfer to
convection air. To clean these components:
⇒
Shut down stove and allow stove to completely cool.
⇒
Open door and remove rear deflector panel.
⇒
Gripping the finger tab, slide tube scraper full length
along heat exchanger tubes on both the right and left
side.
⇒
Return tube scrapers to their lowest resting position.
⇒
Scrap exposed portions of the rear convection panel.
⇒
Replace rear deflector panel.
•
Do not use commercial glass cleaners or oven cleaners as they tend to leave film on the glass that will acceler‐
ate the soiling of the glass.
•
DO NOT OPERATE STOVE WITH BROKEN GLASS AS LEAKAGE OF FLUE GASES MAY RESULT.
•
Clean glass only when the stove is cold as hot glass will cause serious burns.
•
NEVER perform any inspections, cleaning, maintenance or service on a HOT STOVE. Turn off stove and allow
to cool before service.
ASH PAN:
(APPROXIMATE FREQUENCY: MONTHLY OR 2000 LBS PELLETS)
Remove two fasteners and remove ash pan from stove. Dispose ashes into a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. Before replacing ash pan, inspect gasketing to ensure it is not damaged and will provide an air‐
tight fit when secured in position. If the gasket needs replacing, use an OEM gasket. This specifically de‐
signed gasket is engineered to make replacement clean and easy. See Section #10 "Replacement Parts List"
When replacing the ash pan, ensure it is pushed tightly to
stove and replace the two fasteners securely.
BURN POT:
(APPROXIMATE FREQUENCY: MONTHLY OR
2000 LBS PELLETS)
This is the "pot" where the pellets are burned in the grate.
When removing your grate for cleaning, check the burn
pot area for ash build up. Some ash will fall through the
grate holes and build up under the grate. This needs to be
cleaned out to prevent lack of air flow through the burn
grate. DO NOT push the ash to the back of the opening, as
this not an ash trap and will effect or block off the air flow
to the grate.
