V. MAINTAINING YOUR HEATING SYSTEM
NOTE: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN OR PROPERLY USE THIS APPLIANCE MAY
CAUSE INJURY OR A HOUSE FIRE. IT WILL ALSO SHORTEN THE LIFE OF YOUR
STOVE. AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH HEATING SEASON THIS APPLIANCE,
THE CONNECTOR PIPE, AND CHIMNEY SHOULD BE INSPECTED TO SEE THAT

End of season maintenance:
Moisture is your enemy. Summertime moisture and high humidity can be absorbed by dust and
fly ash and cause rust and corrosion. A complete cleaning of the furnace and venting system will
help reduce this. Brush down all fly ash from the interior of the furnace. Then you should vacuum
out the fly ash from inside the furnace including ledges and corners. Check outside painted
surface of furnace. If surface rust or blemishes are present lightly rub with fine steel wool to
remove. You can then touch up the paint with high temperature stove paint available at your Hitzer
dealer.
Next clean the venting system. Disconnect the chimney connector pipe and clean all fly ash from
it especially elbows and horizontal runs. It is not necessary to reinstall this pipe till you are ready
to use the furnace again in the fall. Have the chimney inspected and cleaned if necessary.
. If the optional filter housing is not installed you will need to clean the blower wheel. Always
disconnect the power from the furnace before servicing any of the electrical components. With a
hose of a vacuum cleaner and brush remove the bust buildup on the blower wheel. The blower
can also be removed Then use compressed air to blow dust buildup from the wheel.
At the beginning of each heating season this appliance, the connector pipe, and chimney should
be inspected to see that they are clear and in good working condition.
