• YEARLY MAINTENANCE
Important Notes
• As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF” and
has completed the Shut-Down cycle BEFORE starting.
• Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after the fire
has gone out and EVEN after the Shut-Down cycle is complete. Always use
extreme caution when handling potentially hot stove parts, even if you think
they should be cold.
• Yearly (or end of season) maintenance should include the steps listed in this
section AS WELL AS the steps listed in the “Weekly Maintenance” and
“Biweekly Maintenance” sections.
• Yearly maintenance should be performed at the end of the burning season.
Leaving ash and other build-up in the stove during the non-heating months
can lead to premature metal degradation in the stove and venting system.
Using extra attention to detail and being certain to be very thorough in the
end of season cleaning will help increase the operating life of the stove and
venting system.

Caution – Shock Hazard
• Press the “Off” button and let the appliance completely cool BEFORE
unplugging the appliance and beginning any maintenance or component
replacement.
• Risk of shock if appliance is not unplugged before service.
