B. Quick Reference Maintenance Chart
NOTICE:
These are recommendations. When burning high ash content pellet fuel or a/pellet mix you may
need to clean the fire pot several times a day. Clean the stove and fire pot more frequently if you
encounter heavy build-up of ash at the recommended interval or you see soot coming from the
vent. Not properly cleaning your appliance on a regular basis will void your warranty.
Follow the detailed instructions found in this section for each step listed as referenced in the
chart below.
When properly maintained, your appliance will give
you many years of trouble-free service. Contact your
dealer to answer questions regarding proper operation,
troubleshooting and service for your appliance. Visit
