10. Remove the ash pan using either the ash pan removal tool (furnished) or a glove. Lift the ash
pan up and out the door. Dump the ash pan into a fire safe, covered container. The firepot
may be lifted out and dumped using a glove. With these items removed, carefully check that
the unit and all ashes are cooled completely. Vacuum out the bottom of the unit, paying close
attention to the air inlet. Vacuum the inside of the unit thoroughly cleaning the 2 holes found
under the ash pan. Replace all parts once cleaning is completed. This cleaning should be done
monthly or as needed to insure proper operation. An annual cleaning should be accomplished
by a certified professional to ensure proper performance.
11. Depending on usage, both the room air & exhaust blowers may need to be oiled once a year
with proper electrical motor oil. Locate the oil ports on either the side or top of the units and
add three drops of oil. This simple step will greatly increase the life and serviceability of your
unit.
12. To clean glass, use a mild non-abrasive cleaner when cool. Speedy White is an excellent glass
and stove cleaner. Creosote builds up on glass quickly when fire is burned at lowest settings.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on glass. Periodically clean out the door air wash (a groove at
the bottom of the door). This air wash directs air over the glass door to minimize soot buildup
on the door.
13. Once a year it is advisable to inspect the door gasket. This is done by taking a 2” strip of paper
and shutting the door on it. Then pull the paper to test the gasket pressure. You should have to
pull the paper from the door. Check all around the gasket. If the paper slides out easily or falls
out, the gasket needs to be replaced. We recommend that both the door and glass gasket be
replaced at the same time.
To replace the gaskets, remove the door by lifting it straight up, off of its hinge pins and lay
face down on a soft surface. Remove door gasketing (you may need to use pliers). Remove
glass retaining clips and remove glass. Strip off old gasketing around glass and clean glass
well. Clean out old stove gasketing material from gasket track.
Once the door and glass are clean, apply gasketing material to glass surface and return glass to
door, securing with clips (Use care not to over tighten). Then apply a generous bead of
gasketing cement into the track. Position the new gasket into the window frame. Gently press
this gasket into the door to ensure proper “seating.” Trim off any excess gasketing and wipe
away excess cement. Let the cement set 24 hours before placing door back on unit. Gasket
material and cement may be obtained from your dealer.
14. Replacement glass should be 0.200” (5mm) thick. Overall size of the glass is by 16” (405mm)
wide by 11” (279mm) high, cut to an irregular shape to fit the door front. Your unit uses
Corning Pyroceram II, or a similar ceramic type high temp glass. Do not use any other glass
type in this unit. Replacement glass may be obtained from a Country Flame Dealer.
15. Use care not to slam or strike the door as this could result in glass breakage. If the glass in a
pellet stove is broke or cracked, DO NOT operate the unit until the ceramic glass has been
replaced.
