Exhaust System
The exhaust system should be checked periodically during the heating season. Chimneys may partially plug
up under certain conditions. Burning dirty fuel and/or an improperly installed vent system will require more
frequent cleaning of the chimney system. Fly ash, a product of combustion, will collect in the exhaust vent
and restrict the flow of flue gases. Check the amount of ash that accumulates in the elbows or tee’s in the
exhaust system to determine frequency of cleaning.
Consult with your dealer on suggested frequency of cleaning, procedures for cleaning and equipment
needed. It is recommended to check the exhaust system at least every other month during the heating
season.
Gaskets
Inspect the condition of the rope gasket around the door, glass, ash door and hopper lid. Replace if
necessary. Replacement parts are listed at the back of this operating / maintenance manual.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
Performing annual maintenance in additional to the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance will prolong the
life of the stove, maintain its appearance and ensure safe, reliable operation for the next heating season.
Your dealer may offer an annual service / maintenance contract which you may want to take advantage of.
There’s nothing more comforting in knowing that your stove has been cleaned, inspected and serviced by a
factory-trained technician.
1. When the last fire has been burned in the spring, shut down and cool the stove.
2. Remove all corn or wood pellets from the hopper.
3. Perform ‘2-Month Maintenance’ procedures.
4. The exhaust system should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected. Contact your dealer for this service to
be performed.
5. Unplug the stove from the outlet.
6. Locate the left side exhaust system clean out
panel, below the side panel. Loosen the
screws securing the clean out panel and
remove the panel. Vacuum the area behind
the clean out panel.
7. Open the right side panel and carefully clean
or vacuum entire area and around fan and
motor.
CAUTION: Any electrical wires that become
disconnected should be serviced by your
dealer.

place with the screws previously loosened.
