Revision 3.1
Caution: Turn off your stove and allow to cool. Once your stove has properly shut down and cooled, unplug it
before performing any cleaning or service.
Caution: Use only a certified ash vacuum to clean your stove. Using a regular home or shop vacuum can result in
a fire.
Caution: People with breathing problems should be careful to not inhale ash or dust during the stove cleaning
process. If you suffer from any form of lung disease or have difficulty breathing, use of a dust mask is
recommended.
Caution: Even after allowing your stove to cool, hot embers may still be present in the firebox. Use caution when
you open the door and during the cleaning process. Use care in order to prevent any remaining embers from
igniting clothing or objects close to your stove.
To maintain proper operation of your pellet stove, it is important to regularly clean the unit. Failure to regularly
clean your stove could lead to decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and an increased chance of
component failure. Component failure caused by lack of proper cleaning is not covered under warranty.
