3. Clean burn grate holes at least weekly. Remove 
the burn grate and use a small metal object to 
clean out plugged holes. (

See fig. 5 on page 9.

 

4.  Remove the baffle and clean the ashes that 
accumulate on a regular basis.  
   
Frequency of cleaning depends on amount of fuel 
being burnt and the quality of the pellets. Fuel 
with low ash content is recommended.   
 

Failure to clean the baffle can cause the stove 
to become plugged with fly ash and could 
result in a Safety Hazard.

  

  
To remove the baffle 

(See Figure 8)

, lift the back 

of the baffle up to clear the inner back of the 
stove and slide towards the front of the stove. The 
baffle will slide out of the keyhole slots and drop 
down. 

When putting the baffle back in the stove, 

make sure the screws are in the keyhole slots 
and the back of the baffle is lifted up over the 
inner back. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

4.

 

Periodic cleaning of the exhaust system is 
required. Under certain conditions creosote 
buildup may occur rapidly. Low quality 
pellets and poor installations require more 
frequent chimney cleanings. 

See Page 3 

“Preventing Chimney Fires”.

 The products 

of combustion will also contain small 
particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect 
in the exhaust vent and restrict the flow of 
the flue gases. Judge the frequency of 
cleaning by checking the amount of ash that 
accumulates in the elbows or tee’s of the 
exhaust system. Ask the dealer for suggested 
frequency of cleaning, equipment needed 
and procedures for cleaning. Check the 
exhaust system at least once every two 
months during the heating season. 
 

 
Periodically inspect the condition of the rope 
gasket around the door, window and ash door. 
Replace as needed.
