MAINTENANCE

BLOWER MOTORS

Clean the air holes on the motors of the blowers annually.

PAINTED SURFACES

Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp cloth. If scratches appear or you wish to renew your paint, contact your authorized

dealer to obtain suitable high-temperature paint.

GLASS - CLEANING, REMOVAL, AND REPLACEMENT OF BROKEN DOOR GLASS

Cleaning - We recommend using a high quality glass cleaner. Should a buildup of creosote or carbon accumulate, you may wish to

use 000 steel wool and water to clean the glass. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT perform the cleaning while the glass is HOT.

In the event you need to replace the glass, remove the screws, glass retainers and gasket. While wearing leather gloves (or any

other gloves suitable for handling broken glass), carefully remove any loose pieces of glass from the door frame. Dispose of all

broken glass properly. ONLY high temperature ceramic glass of the correct size and thickness may be used. DO NOT substitute

alternative materials for the glass. Contact your authorized dealer to obtain this glass. Re-install the new glass by re-attaching the

gasket, retainers and screws, be careful not to over tighten the screws for this could damage the glass.

DO NOT abuse the door glass by striking, slamming, or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed, cracked,

or broken.

FALL START UP

Prior to starting the ﬁ rst ﬁ re of the heating season, check the outside area around the exhaust and air intake systems for obstructions.

Clean and remove any ﬂ y ash from the exhaust venting system. Clean any screens on the exhaust system and on the outside air

intake pipe. Turn all of the controls on and make sure that they are working properly. This is also a good time to give the entire stove

a good cleaning throughout.

SPRING SHUTDOWN

After the last burn in the spring, remove any remaining pellets from the hopper and the auger feed system. Scoop out the pellets and

then run the auger until the hopper is empty and pellets stop ﬂ owing (this can be done by pressing the “ON” button with the viewing

door open). Vacuum out the hopper. Thoroughly clean the burn pot and ﬁ rebox. It may be desirable to spray the inside of the cleaned

hopper with an aerosol silicone spray if your stove is in a high humidity area. The exhaust system should be thoroughly cleaned.

AUGER CLEANING

It is recommended that the auger be cleaned and polished monthly or as needed.

1) Turn the unit off, allow the unit to cool, empty the hopper and run the auger untill all pellets have been pushed out throught

the burnpot.

2) Add three (3) tablespoons of vegetable oil to 6-8 ounces of pellets. Ensure there is not a lot of excess oil as it will drip out of

the auger tubing.

3) Pour the pellets into the bottom of the hopper and add an additional 60-80 ounces of pellets on top.

4) Turn the unit on but DO NOT light a ﬁ re.

5) It will take approximately 10 minutes for the pellets to ﬁ ll the auger tube. As the pellets are pushed to the burnpot the pellets

will clean and polish the auger tube.

6) Vacuum out the burnpot.
