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 recommended 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 unplug the electrical
supply.
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.

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 operate the appliance
until the chimney and connector have been inspected and
approved by a chimney professional.
B. Quick Reference Maintenance Chart
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.
