Proper care of your
Glow Boy
SERIES
pellet appliance is required for peak, sustained performance. The
need for and frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of pellets burned, pellet quality, length of time
since last cleaning and the quality of the fire. While becoming acquainted with your new stove and the types
of local pellets, i
nspect your BURN GRATE, BURN POT, HEAT EXCHANGE, ASH PIT, and WINDOW daily
and clean until a pattern of cleaning re-quirement is determined
. As heating demands increase the need
for stove and exhaust system cleaning and ash removal will increase.
EVERY 2 –3 DAYS / WEEKLY
CHECK BURN GRATE FOR CLINKERS
:
(B)
If the flames seem to be coming only from the sides,
or are orange/black in color, turn the stove off and check
for build up in the grate.
The most likely causes are:
Poor quality pellets, exhaust system requires cleaning
The air-inlet damper requires adjustment
To Clean: (Cold Stove Only)
Open door, remove the burn grate, knock out any debris.
It may be necessary to scrape the holes clean.
Clean between the Burn Grate and Burn Pot as well.
BURN POT: (A)
[COLD STOVE ONLY]
Remove the burn grate. Clean out the burn pot area of all debris.
CAUTION:
When replacing the grate make sure it fits
properly in the burn pot.
WINDOW CLEANING:
[COLD STOVE ONLY as hot glass may cause serious burns]
To enjoy a clear view of the fire you should clean your window
as needed with a soft cloth or paper towel. You may use a
Fireplace glass cleaner or vinegar water to remove heavy build
up on the window.
Mirror cleaners and oven cleaners will leave a film on the
glass and attract smoke like a magnate.
HOME TIP:
Dampen a piece of newsprint with water, dip this
into the fly ash, then rub down the glass. This works like a
charm. Do not use abrasive chemical cleaners.
DO NOT OPERATE STOVE WITH BROKEN GLASS AS
LEAKAGE OF FLUE GASES MAY RESULT.
DOOR & TRIM CLEANING:
Fingerprints or other marks left on gold surfaces may become
etched in place, if they are not wiped clean prior to turning
the stove on. Use a damp cloth to wipe clean.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS AS YOU WILL
REMOVE OR SCRATCH THE PLATING!
WARNING:
Regular maintenance must be conducted for safe and efficient operation.
Disconnect power to the stove if maintenance requires the opening of service panels.
Conduct maintenance on a COLD appliance only.
