The following list of components should be inspected and maintained routinely to ensure that the

BURNER POT AND LINER (Checked Daily/Emptied Weekly)
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 firebox by gently lifting up the front of the burn pot, then sliding the assembly from the air intake

tube and the ignitor cartridge.
This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. When the unit is cold, remove the burn-pot liner from

the stove. Using a metal scrapper, remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s holes.

Then dispose of the scrapped 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. 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.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds

up and overflows 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.

HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES (Weekly)
There are two (2) sets of exchanger tube scrapers; the

handles are located under the top grill (trivet). Lift the

grill and move the handles all the way up and down a

few times (ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS COLD) in order

to clean away any fly 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 efficiently.
