ECLIPSE MAINTENANCE
NOTE: WHEN YOU FIRST OPERATE YOUR STOVE, CHECK TO DETERMINE THE
NEEDED CLEANING FREQUENCY. THE STOVE REQUIRES A MINIMUM
AMOUNT OF DAILY MAINTENANCE. REQUIRED MAINTENANCE DEPENDS
LARGELY UPON THE QUALITY OF FUEL BURNED AND THE RATE OF BURN.
THE AMOUNT OF DAILY MAINTENANCE WILL INCREASE IF FUEL QUALITY
DECREASES AND/OR THE BURN RATE INCREASES.
NOTE: FAILURE TO KEEP YOUR STOVE CLEAN, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS
MANUAL, COULD RESULT IN POOR OPERATION, INEFFICIENT FUEL USAGE
AND A POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD! IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
OWNER/USER TO DETERMINE THE NEEDED MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY.
CAUTION: THE DOOR AND FRONT PART OF THE STOVE WILL BE HOT. DO NOT
TOUCH ANY PART OF THE STOVE THAT IS HOT!
Daily Maintenance
1.
The Ash Pan.
Make sure the Ashpan is not too full. If the Ashpan is too full, the ash may
not be able to dump from the Revolution Pot when it runs a cleaning cycle.
2.
The Tube Scraper.
Pull the Tube Scraper back and forth a couple of times to keep the
tubes clean. If the Tube Scraper feels sticky and difficult to move, check for the presence
of creosote on the tubes. If creosote is present a damper adjustment may be needed or the
Stove has become plugged and needs a thorough cleaning. Call Dealer for assistance.
(See figure 1 on Page 7 for the location of the Tube Scraper Rod).
3.
Clean the Viewing Glass.
Use a dry paper towel to clean the glass. Quickly open the
door and wipe the glass. The rate of burn will determine how often the window needs
cleaning. Prolonged burning at a low burn rate will result in the need for more frequent
window cleaning. Cooling the Stove and wiping the window daily with a cloth or paper
towel will normally keep the window from accumulating difficult to clean residue. Use of
a glass cleaner ONLY permitted when the Stove is cold.
CAUTION:
Do not slam the door. Do not operate the Stove with a broken or cracked glass.
Replace only with heat resistant ceramic glass supplied by the manufacturer.
