AREAS FOR ROUTINE INSPECTION 

 

The following should be inspected periodically to ensure that the appliance is operating at its optimum and giving 
you excellent heat value: 
 

2 3 DAYS/WEEKLY 

SEASON or 2 TONS OF FUEL 

Burn Pot and Liner 

Exhaust Vent 

Ash Pan  

Fresh air Intake Tube 

Inside Firebox 

Blower Mechanisms 

Behind Firebox Liners 

Heat exchanger tubes 

Burn Pot and Liner 

Latch Mechanism of ash pan 

Door Glass 

Door Latch  

Heat exchanger tubes 

All Hinges 

Ash pan and Door gaskets 

Post Season Clean-up 

 

TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT:

..Torx T-20 Screwdriver, Brush, Soft Cloth, Vacuum with fine filter bag 

 

ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS 

 
After excessive use the gasketing may come loose.  To repair this, glue the gasketing on using high-temperature 
fiberglass gasket glue available from your local dealer.  This is important to maintain an airtight assembly. 

DO 

NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN. 
 
BURNER POT AND LINER 

 
This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned.  Every two to three days (when the unit is cold), remove the burn-
pot liner from the stove.  Using a metal scrapper remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s 
holes.  Then dispose of the scrapped 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 and the front tabs are in place in 
the firebox. Place the liner back into the burn-pot, making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the 
ignitor tube. Pushing the liner up against the igniter tube. 
To remove the burn pot and burn pot liner open the door using the door handle provided located on the left-hand 
side of the stove, swing the door open. Lift the liner from the burn pot, lift the burn pot from the firebox by gently 
lifting the front of the burn pot up first then sliding the assembly from the air intake tube and the igniter cartridge.

INSERT ASH REMOVAL: 

The EF 4 pellet stove insert does not have an ash pan and the ashes must be vacuumed out of the firebox on a 
daily basis.

  CAUTION: BECAUSE THE FLY ASH IS VERY FINE, THE USE OF A VACUUM BAG WILL BE 

REQUIRED TO PREVENT ASH FROM BEING BLOWN BACK INTO THE ROOM.  Please pay special 
attention that there are no hot ashes in the firebox or there could be a possibility of a fire hazard inside 
the vacuum cleaner. Place all hot ashes into a noncombustible container. 
 
FREESTANDING ASH PAN: ( # 1 SEE PAGE 10)

 

 

This part is located under the burner, in the pedestal and has a latching mechanism to secure it. To remove the 
ash pan, unlock the latch on the pedestal cover and then pull the pan out.  Dump the ashes into a metal container 
stored away from combustibles.  Monitor the ash level every

 

week. 

 Remember that different pellet fuels will
