lean the in ‐ take on CONVECTION (ROOM AIR) fan as well as the air holes on the motors of both COMBUS ‐
TION and CONVECTION fans annually.
FRESH AIR INTAKE:
(APPROXIMATE FREQUENCY: ANNUALLY)
Inspect periodically to be sure that it is not clogged with any foreign materials. A plugged screen will restrict or
shut off combustion air and cause a fire to die or burn poorly.
CHECK AND CLEAN THE HOPPER:
(APPROXIMATE FREQUENCY: MONTHLY OR 2000 LBS PELLETS)
Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any sawdust or pellets that are sticking to
the hopper surface. Clean as needed. An excess build up of fines, will lead to improper feeding and possible auger
jams. You may wish to allow your hopper to run empty, to aid inspection and reduce saw dust.
GASKET INSPECTION:
(APPROXIMATE FREQUENCY: ANNUALLY)
Air leaks into the firebox will decrease the appliance’s performance greatly, leading to excessive soot and ineffi ‐
cient combustion. If gasketing needs replacing, use an OEM gasket. This specifically designed gasket is engi ‐
neered to make replacement clean and easy. See Section #10 “Replacement Parts List”
GLASS GASKET:
(APPROXIMATE FREQUENCY: ANNUALLY)
On the Itasca, there is no gasket across the top or bottom edges of the glass. This .040” gap is to allow for an air
wash aiding in keeping the glass clean. Check this area for build ‐ up or obstructions and clean as needed. The
gasketing found on glass sides does go completely around the glass corners on the top and bottom acting as a
spacer for the glass. If gasketing needs replacing, use an OEM gasket. This specifically designed gasket is engi ‐
neered to make replacement clean and easy. See Section #10 “Replacement Parts List” If replacing this gasket,
ensure the gasket covers the entire side and approximately 1 inch of the top and
bottom edges.
STOVE PAINTED & PLATED SURFACES:
(APPROXIMATE FREQUENCY: MONTHLY OR 2000 LBS PELLETS)
These surfaces may be wiped down with a soft damp cloth.
