DOOR GLASS
Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in operation or if glass is hot. To

clean the glass, use a soft cotton cloth and mild window cleaner, gas or wood stove glass cleaner, or take

a damp paper towel and dip into the fly ash. This is a very mild abrasive and will not damage the glass.
It is recommended that your dealer replace the glass if broken.
The door glass is made of 5 mm thick, high temperature PYROCERAMIC. The center panel is 229 mm x

330 mm (9” x 13”). To replace the glass, unscrew and remove the four glass retainers. Remove the glass

and any broken pieces. High temperature fiberglass tape should be used around the glass. Replace the

glass, center the glass assembly in the frame, then screw the glass retainers back to the frame. The use

of substitute materials is prohibited.

FRESH AIR INTAKE

Inspect prior to relighting after a prolonged shut down period and periodically through the burning

season to be sure that the fresh air intake is not clogged with any foreign materials. Ensure that the air

intake grills are not blocked.

EXHAUST VENT
Soot and Fly-ash: Formation and Need for Removal
- The products of combustion will contain

small particles of fly-ash. The fly-ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of

the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation

of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The

exhaust venting system should be inspected prior to relighting after a prolonged shut down period and

at least once every half (1⁄2) year or after one (1) tons of pellets to determine if cleaning is necessary.

The chimney must be scrubbed with the appropriate sized steel brush; we recommend contacting your

dealer for professional cleaning. To remove dust from 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.

POST SEASON CLEAN-UP
Once you are finished using the pellet appliance for the season, unplug the stove for added electrical

protection. It is very important that the stove be cleaned and serviced as stated above.

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

ASH DRAWER:
Remove ash drawer (see Figure 8). Dump the ashes into a

metal container stored away from combustibles. Monitor the ash

level every week. Remember that different pellet fuels will have

different ash contents. Ash content is a good indication of fuel

efficiency and quality. Refer to “Warnings and Recommendations”

for disposal of ashes.

DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN

ASH PAN.

INSIDE FIREBOX
For bi-weekly clean out, ash may be removed from the heat

exchange tube by cleaning with a 50 mm round brush.

BLOWER MECHANISMS:
Unplug the stove then open the right/left side panels to access

the two (2) blowers. Clean debris from guards DO NOT lubricate

the motors.
