Routine Cleaning and Maintenance
The following list of components should be inspected and maintained routinely to ensure that the appliance is
operating at its’ optimum and giving you excellent heat value:
Burn Pot Liner
Ignitor Tube
Air Intake Tube
Burn Pot
Ignitor Hole
Cloth, Vacuum with fine filter bag
BURNER POT AND LINER (2-3 days)
Every two to three days (when the unit is cold), remove the burn-pot liner from the stove. Using a metal scraper,
remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s holes. Then dispose of the scraped 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 (shown in Figure 32). 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, the stove may need cleaning, or the air adjusted.
Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the damper to produce the proper clean combustion.
heat exchanger tubeS (2-3 days)
A rod is located in the center of the stove just above the door behind the top louvers, see Figure 35. This rod
is to be pulled 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. Do pull on rod
excessively if it is not sliding. If stuck inspect rod for bend and try and free up scraper plate from inside firebox.
ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (weekly)
After extended use the gasket may come loose. To repair this, glue the gasket on using high-temperature fiberglass
gasket glue available from your local dealer. This is important to maintain an airtight assembly.

5. If you need more heat and the fuel has long pellets, the majority are over 1” (2.5cm) in length, the
Feed Rate Trim can be moved up to the #5 setting. NOTE: Only do this if the fuel burns without build-up.
