Diagram 21
Diagram 22
To clean the fl ywheel, use a steel brush shown on Diagram 22. Clean each
wing of the fl ywheel, which will increase the pressure on the calibration
indicator and will reduce vibrations caused by accumulated ashes.
Maintenance On The
Convection Fan
To reach the convection fan, remove the control panel (refer to diagram
23 & 24). Then using a brush and a vacuum cleaner, clean each plastic
impeller which will increase the hot air volume displacement in the room
and reduce or eliminate any vibrations.

Maintenance On The
Fuel Feeding System
At least once every year, empty the fuel hopper using a vacuum cleaner
with fi lter, clean the fuel residues accumulated which are stuck at the
bottom of the feed screw close to the nylon bushing (see Diagram 25).

Inspection Of The Seals
At the start of each season, check gaskets on the door, hopper lid and
ash door by using a strip of paper which you will slip at several places
between the seal and the stove (see Diagram 26). Give the piece of paper
a little tug and if it slips out easily the gaskets need to be replaced. Use
only approved gasket and adhesive obtainable from your FPI dealer. A
proper high temperature gasket adhesive is also required.

Information On How To
Clean The Chimney
At the start of each season or every 3 tons of fuel burned, check the
accumulation of ashes inside the chimney. It is important to clean the
full system including all lengths, T's and elbows.
Maintenance Of The Battery System
Check that the grips are well connected on the battery poles. Small test:
start the stove without fl ame (cold). After 30 seconds, disconnect the plug
which is connect to the wall socket. If the stove is functioning that means
that the battery is well connected.
Never place a battery directly on
concrete as this can damage the battery.
Type Of Cleaning Product To Use For The Glass
Always use a proper cleaning product which can be found at any hearth
retailer, designed for high temperature glass.
NOTE: Only clean glass when the stove has completely cooled down.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Always disconnect the power to your stove
before doing any maintenace or repairs.
There are two ways to clean the fan fl ywheel, either directly on the stove
(Diagram 21) or removing the fan from the stove (Diagram 22).
