MAINTENANCE
ASH PAN
(weekly)
The ash pan is located under the burner. Always dispose of the ashes into
a metal container (never use cardboard, plastic or wood containers) stored
away from combustibles. Monitor the ash level every week. Remember
different pellet fuels will have different ash contents. Ash content is a good
indication of fuel effi ciency and quality. Refer to "Safety Warnings and
Recommendations" for disposal of ashes.
Freestanding: To remove the ash pan, simply turn the knob and pull out
towards the front.
Insert: To remove the ash pan open the door, remove the burn pot liner
and the burn pot, then pull the ash pan out.
DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.
HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES
(weekly)
Open the door and the rod is located under the unit top, in the center of the
stove just behind the door (see Figure 11). This handle is to be pushed in
and out a few times (ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS COLD) in order to clean
away any fl y 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
effi ciently.

FRESH AIR INTAKE
(season)
Inspect periodically to be sure that the intake pipe is not clogged with any
foreign materials.
EXHAUST VENT
(season)
This vent should be cleaned every year or after two (2) tons of pellets
(whichever happens fi rst). We recommend contacting your dealer for
professional cleaning. To clean the vent pipe, tap lightly on the pipe to
dislodge any loose ash. Open the bottom of the “T” to dump the ash, then
vacuum as much of the ash out of the vent pipe as possible.
BLOWER MECHANISMS
(bi-annual)
Unplug the stove then open the right and left side panels to access the
two blowers. Vacuum all dust from motors and impellers. The convection
blower should be oiled twice yearly using 3 in 1 oil or similar light oil. The
combustion blower requires no lubrication. Check gaskets and replace
if needed.
ALL HINGES
(season)
Check all the hinges on the unit to ensure proper movement.
