MAINTENANCE
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.
SPRING SHUTDOWN
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 burn pot,
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.
