INTERIOR CHAMBERS
• Burn Pot: Periodically remove and clean the burn pot and the area inside the burn pot housing. In particular,
it is advisable to clean out the holes in the burn pot to remove any build up that may prevent air from moving
through the burn pot freely.
•
Heat Exchanger: There is a clean out plate on both sides of the heat exchanger that need to be removed to
clean fly ash out of the heat exchanger. The clean outs are located inside the cabinet doors, on the lower
front corners of the heat exchanger. It is imperative that they be cleaned out at a minimum of once per
month. To access these clean outs, you must remove both side panels. The clean outs are secured to the
firebox with (2) 5/16” screws. Remove the clean outs and vacuum out any accumulated ash. This should be
done at least once per month or more frequently if large amounts of ash are noticed while cleaning or if the
stove does not seem to be burning properly
If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest using the AV15E AshVac vacuum. The AV15E AshVac is
designed for ash removal. Some regular vacuum cleaner (i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room.
DO NOT VACUUM HOT ASH
CLEANING
Heat Exchanger Tubes – Your Pellet Stove Room Heater is designed with a
built in heat exchanger tube cleaner. This should be used every 2 or 3 days to
remove ash build up on the heat exchanger tubes, which can reduce heat
transfer. The handle, for the heat exchanger tube cleaner, is located in front
of the vent tubes on front side of heater. Slide the rod front to back several
times to clean the tubes then follow the instructions for ash removal.
Periodically remove the clean outs on either side of the heat exchanger.
Clean out the ash, then follow the instructions for ash removal. Check the
gasket before replacing the clean out cover. If gasket is damaged new
gasket can be ordered. Alternatively, high temperature silicone can be used
to ensure a proper seal between the clean out cover and the stove body.
