Many dealers offer a Service Contract that will cover Yearly Maintenance. Contact your St. Croix
Dealer for assistance in maintaining your stove in top condition.
Yearly Maintenance
Yearly maintenance is designed to assure safe operation, prolong the life of the stove and help preserve its
aesthetic appeal.
1. Spring Shutdown. After the last burn in the spring, cool the stove. Remove all corn from the hopper
and the auger. Thoroughly clean the burn pot, burn pot box, ash pan and ash traps behind the ash pan.
(To locate the ash traps see figure 9 on page 16)
2. The exhaust system should be thoroughly cleaned at least annually. Call your dealer for this service.
3. The motor/fan area behind the firebox and under the hopper should be vacuumed annually.
NOTE: UNPLUG THE STOVE. Open the access panels of the stove. Carefully clean or vacuum any dust,
cobwebs and household dust. Carefully vacuum around the fan motors. If electrical wires become disconnected
call your dealer for service.
