First, you will need to locate the cover plates to the rear exhaust chambers.
These chamber covers are small, rectangular, metal plates that are affixed
with 2 wing nuts or Allen screws.
There are four total chamber cover plates. Two on each side of the stove
behind the side panels.
In addition to daily and weekly maintenance tasks, the exhaust chamber covers
should be removed and the entire chamber vacuumed thoroughly once every ton
(50 bags) of pellets burned or more often depending on pellet quality.
Once you have located the chamber covers, you will then remove them by
unscrewing the wing nuts/Allen screws and pulling the plate back.
There is a gasket behind the plate to help make an airtight seal so the stove
does not draw in air through these panels. It is ok to cut through the center of
the gasket to access the chamber behind it. As long as there is adequate
gasket material around the perimeter, it will provide a proper seal.
Using a slender hose attachment for your ash vacuum, thoroughly vacuum
out these chambers top to bottom. These chambers extend all the way up to
the heat exchange tubes near the top of the stove, so it is imperative that the
entire chamber is cleaned.
Using a sweeping motion with a slender, flexible brush will ensure that no
area is neglected and as much of the ash and soot is removed as possible.
(1" - 1½" diameter coil brushes work great)

Maintenance
There is a combustion motor gasket, which allows you to remove the motor from the housing, for
inspection and cleaning. If damage occurs to the gasket, a new blower flange gasket may need to be
added between the blower flange and the steel plate.
Do not over-tighten wingnuts during reassembly.
Exhaust Venting & Combustion Blower Housing: Annually or as Needed
The exhaust venting (including Tee cleanouts and elbows), and combustion motor, housing, and impellers
should be inspected and cleaned once per year or as needed.
CAUTION!
Do Not operate stove with broken glass
Do Not slam doors shut.
Do Not strike the glass.
Do Not use abrasive cleaners.
Do Not clean hot glass.
Replace with factory authorized high temperature
ceramic glass only.
(IMPORTANT) Rear Exhaust Chambers:
Every ton (50 Bags) of Pellets Burned or as Needed
Notice: To prevent rusting, ensure that all exterior piping (intake and exhaust) are properly capped off to
prevent moisture from entering the stove during the humid spring and summer months.
