BURN POT AND LINER
(2-3 days)
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 fi rebox
by gently lifting up the front of the burn pot, then sliding the assembly from
the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge. See fi gure 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
inspected it to ensure proper air fl ow 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 fi gure 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.

DOOR GLASS CLEANING
(2-3 days)
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 fl y 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
(weekly)
After extended use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the
gasketing on using high-temperature fi berglass gasket glue / RTU silicone
available from your local Greenfi re dealer. This is important to maintain
an airtight assembly.
OPENING THE DOOR
The door lever can be found inbehind the right side of the door frame. To
open the door, pivet the lever outwards and upwards until it unlocks.
If after long periods of burning, the fi re continually builds up and overfl ows
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.
