Cleaning
It
is
very
important
to
properly
and
regularly
clean
your
stove.
You
are
burning
a
wood
product
and
this
will
result
in
the
formation
of
ash,
soot,
and
potentially
creosote.
These
by
‐
products
must
be
regularly
and
consistently
cleaned
and
removed
from
the
stove
in
order
to
ensure
that
your
stove
continues
to
operate
efficiently
and
safely.
Improper
maintenance
accounts
for
most
difficulties
that
people
have
with
the
stove.
A
lack
of
proper
maintenance
may
even
result
in
the
unit
not
functioning
or
serious
safety
concerns.
Be
sure
to
follow
all
recommended
maintenance
in
this
manual.
If
you
are
not
sure
of
how
to
perform
any
of
these
actions
be
sure
to
speak
with
your
dealer
or
contact
our
technical
support
department
for
additional
instructions.
A.
Heat
Exchange
Tubes
–
Your
stove
is
designed
with
a
built
‐
in
heat
exchange
tube
cleaner.
This
should
be
used
daily
to
remove
accumulated
ash
on
the
tubes,
which
reduces
the
efficiency
of
your
unit.
Insert
the
handle
end
(with
hole)
of
the
cleaning
tool
onto
the
cleaning
rod
(refer
to
figure
13).
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.
When
finished
be
sure
to
leave
tube
cleaner
at
the
rear
of
the
stove.
B.
Interior
Chambers
–
The
two
ash
doors
in
the
firebox
in
the
Talon
can
be
removed
for
periodic
cleaning
(refer
to
figure
14).
These
doors
allow
access
to
the
chamber
behind
the
firebox.
Periodically,
you
must
vacuum
ashes
from
this
chamber.
Be
sure
to
have
an
attachment
on
your
vacuum
so
that
you
can
get
all
the
way
to
the
left
and
right
of
these
cleanouts,
and
all
the
way
up
inside
of
these
doors
to
the
top
of
stove.
INSPECT
AND
CLEAN
BEHIND
THESE
CLEANING
PLATES
AT
LEAST
ONCE
PER
TON
OF
PELLETS
BURNED.
In
some
cases
you
will
need
to
remove
creosote,
which
can
accumulate
rapidly
under
certain
conditions.
A
small
wire
brush
can
be
used.
Use
the
small
wire
brush
to
also
clean
the
inside
of
the
chamber
walls,
above
the
access
doors.
IT
IS
IMPORTANT
TO
REMOVE
THIS
CREOSOTE
BECAUSE
IT
IS
HIGHLY
COMBUSTIBLE.
