Periodically remove and clean the burnpot and the area inside the burnpot housing. In particular it is advisable to clean
out the holes in the burnpot to remove any build up that may prevent air from moving through the burn pot freely. Remove
the two(2) plates on each side of the burnpot housing and clean out that rear chamber.
If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ash removal. Some regular vacuum
cleaner (i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room.
ASh diSPOSAL
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on
a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
CHECK AND ClEAN THE HOPPER
Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any sawdust or pellets that are sticking to the hopper surface.
Clean as needed.
DOOR AND GlASS GASKETS
Inspect the main door and glass window gaskets periodically. The main door may need to be removed to have frayed,
broken, or compacted gaskets replaced by your Authorized “
King
” Dealer. The glass gasket has a gap at the bottom
for the airwash.
BLOwEr MOTOrS
Clean the air holes on the motors of both the exhaust and distribution blowers annually. Remove the exhaust blower
from the exhaust duct and clean out the internal fan blades as part of your fall start-up.
PAiNTEd SurFACES
Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp cloth. If scratches appear, or you wish to renew your paint, contact
your Authorized “
King
” Dealer to obtain a can of suitable high-temperature paint.
gLASS
We recommend using a high quality glass cleaner. Should a build up of creosote or carbon accumulate, you may wish
to use 000 steel wool and water to clean the glass. In the event you need to replace the glass, only high temperature
ceramic glass of the correct size and thickness may be used. Contact your Authorized “
King
” Dealer to obtain this glass.
FALL STArT uP
Prior to starting the first fire of the heating season, check the outside area around the exhaust and air intake systems
for obstructions. Clean and remove any fly ash from the exhaust venting system. Clean any screens on the exhaust
system and on the outside air intake pipe. Turn all of the controls on and make sure that they are working properly. This
is also a good time to give the entire stove a good cleaning throughout.

After the last burn in the spring, remove any remaining pellets from the hopper and the auger feed system. Scoop out
the pellets and then run the auger until the hopper is empty and pellets stop flowing (this can be done by pressing the
“ON”
button with the viewing door open). Vacuum out the hopper. Thoroughly clean the burnpot, and firebox. It may
be desirable to spray the inside of the cleaned hopper with an aerosol silicone spray if your stove is in a high humidity
area. The exhaust system should be thoroughly cleaned.
