FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN
RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY HAZARDS. NEVER
CLEAN WHEN HOT.
NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not
become plugged, if so, clean thoroughly.
ASH REMOVAL
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting id.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all combustibles materials,
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retainer in the closed
container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
ASH DISPOSAL
Remove ashes periodically as they fill the firebox. To remove ashes:
1. Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.
2. Clean heat exchanger tubes (see “Cleaning”section of this
manual).
3. Remove the burn pots inner section by grasping it and pulling
straight up.
4. Empty ashes from the inner section and scrape with cleaning
tool; make sure holes are not plugged.
5. Vacuum to remove ashes from the burn chamber interior and
the burnpot shell.
WARNING: Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before using a
vacuum.
6. Dispose of ashes properly (see “Ash Removal”section of this
manual).
7. Replace inner section into burnpot; make sure it is level and
pushed all the way back down and that the igniter hole is to the
rear when it is reinstalled.
8. Make sure the burnpot is level and pushed all the way in, if the
collar on the burnpot attached to the fresh air tube is not pushed
back to meet the firebox wall, the automatic igniter will not work
properly.
SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO)
emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when exposed to elevated
concentrations for extended periods of time. While the modern
combustion systems in heaters drastically reduce the amount of CO
emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or confined
areas can be dangerous. Make sure your stove gaskets and chimney
joints are in good working order and sealing properly to ensure
unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke
and CO monitors in areas having the potential to generate CO.
CLEANING
a. Heat Exchange Tubes – Your stove is designed with a built-in
heat exchange tube cleaner. This should be used every two or
three days to remove accumulated ash on the tubes, which
reduces heat transfer. Insert the handle end (with hole) of the
cleaning tool onto the cleaning rod. The cleaner rod is located
in the grill above the stove door. Move the cleaner rod back and
forth several times to clean the heat exchanger tubes. Be sure
to leave tube cleaner at the rear of the stove.
b. Interior Chambers – Four ash doors and two upper baffles in
the firebox of this unit can be removed for periodic cleaning.
These doors allow access to the chamber surrounding the
firebox.
