Maintenance

• Failure to clean and maintain this unit as indicated can

result in poor performance and safety hazards.

•

Unplug your stove’s electrical cord prior to removing the
back panel or opening the exhaust system for any inspec-
tion, cleaning, or maintenance work.

•

Never perform any inspections, cleaning, or maintenance
on a hot stove.

•

Do not operate stove with broken glass, leakage of

gas may result.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

Creosote Formation – When any wood is burned slowly, it
produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney

ue or a newly started

re or from a slow-burning

re. As a result, creosote residue

accumulates on the

ue lining. When ignited, this creosote

makes an extremely hot

re, which may damage the chimney

or even destroy the house. Despite their high ef

ciency, pellet

stoves can accumulate creosote under certain conditions.
Fly Ash – This accumulates in the horizontal portion of an ex-
haust run. Though non-combustible, it may impede the normal
exhaust

ow. It should therefore be periodically removed.

Inspection and Removal – The chimney connector and chim-
ney should be inspected by a quali

ed person annually or per

ton of pellets to determine if a creosote or

y ash build-up has

occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed
to reduce the risk of a chimney

re. Inspect the system at the

stove connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces
tend to build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to
check the chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.
The creosote should be removed with a brush speci

cally

designed for the type of chimney in use. A quali

ed chimney

sweep can perform this service. It is also recommended that
before each heating season the entire system be profession-
ally inspected, cleaned and, if necessary, repaired. To clean
the chimney, disconnect the vent from the stove.

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

ash out of the heat exchanger. The cleanouts are located
inside the cabinet doors, on the lower front corners of the
heat exchanger.
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.
DO NOT VACUUM HOT ASH

CHECK AND CLEAN THE HOPPER

Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any
sawdust (

nes) that is building up in the feed system or pel-

lets 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
dealer. This unit’s door uses a 3/4” diameter rope gasket.

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 dealer to obtain a can of suitable high-
temperature paint.

SMOKE AND CO MONITORS

Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon
monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when ex-
posed to elevated concentrations for extended periods of time.
While the modern combustion systems in heaters drastically
reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure
to the gases in closed or con

ned areas can be dangerous.

Make sure your stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good
working order and sealing properly to ensure unintended
exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and
CO monitors in areas having the potential to generate CO.

GLASS - CLEANING, REMOVAL AND REPLACE-
MENT OF BROKEN DOOR GLASS

Cleaning - We recommend using a high quality glass cleaner.
Should a buildup of creosote or carbon accumulate, you may
wish to use 000 steel wool and water to clean the glass. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT perform the cleaning
while the glass is HOT. ,
In the event you need to replace the glass, Do not attempt to
operate the unit with broken glass. Replacement glass may be
purchased from your U.S. Stove Pellet Burning Room Heater
Dealer. If glass is broken, follow these removal procedures:
Replacement glass must be 0.197” thick tempered ceramic
glass with a working service temperature of 1400 deg. F.
Center Glass size: 10” x 10.67” Side glass size: 4” x 10.67”
1. Once the heater has cooled, remove the door from the

heater.

2. Remove the rope gasket from the door followed by the

eight(8) nuts holding the glass retainer in place.

3. While wearing gloves, carefully remove any loose pieces

of glass from the door frame.

4. Replace the glass and gasket, making sure the gasket

runs the full perimeter of the glass edge.

5. Re-install the retainer and eight nuts and rope gasket

using high temperature silicone to adhere the gasket to
the door.

6. Never use substitute materials for the glass.
