Service & Maintenance
A. Shut-down Procedure
The best way to shut down the appliance is to simply
let it run out of fuel, and shut down naturally as the
temperature cools. This method is highly recommend-
ed for the end of season shut-down.
To shut-down otherwise, turn the mode selector to
"OFF' verify by ensuring that the Status light goes out.
The shut-down protocol of the circuit board will safely
allow the fire to go out. All motors will stop when cool,
and only the POWER light will remain lit. It is now safe
to un-plug the electrical supply.

Soot- Formation and Need For Removal-
When wood is burned, the products of combustion
combine with moisture to form a soot residue which
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this
soot makes an extremely hot fire. The entire venting
system should be inspected at least once every two
months during the heating season to determine if a
soot buildup has occurred. If soot has accumulated,
it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney
fire.
If you experience a chimney fire;
Turn the control
to "Off". Keep appliance doors and hopper lid closed
and latched. Notify the fire department. Do not oper-
ate the appliance until the chimney and connector
have been inspected and approved by a chimney
professional.
CAUTION! shOCK AND smOKE hAZARD!
Proper Shut-down procedure must be followed.
• Smoke spillage may occur if shut-down is not
complete
• Risk of shock if appliance is not disconnected from
the supply power prior to servicing.
follow the detailed instructions found in this section for each point listed in the chart below.
NOTICE: For recommendation purposes only - More frequent cleaning is necessary if heavy buildup is
encountered at the recommended intervals, or if you see soot coming from the vent.
failure to clean your
appliance on a regular basis will void the product warranty.
