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 inspection, cleaning, or maintenance work.
• Never perform any inspections, cleaning, or
maintenance on a hot stove.
• Do not operate stove with broken glass, leakage of
fl ue gas may result.
• Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed
heater design speci
fi cations can result in permanent
da mage to the heater.
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
fl ue or a newly started
fi re or from a slow-burning fi re. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the fl ue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fi re, which may damage the chimney
or even destroy the house. Despite their high ef fi ciency, pellet
stoves can accumulate creosote under certain conditions.
Fly Ash – This accumulates in the horizontal portion of
an exhaust run. Though non-combustible, it may impede
the normal exhaust
fl ow. It should therefore be periodically
removed.
Inspection and Removal – The chimney connector and
chimney should be inspected by a quali fi ed person annually
or per ton of pellets to determine if a creosote or fl y ash build-
up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. 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
fi cally designed for the type of chimney in use. A
quali fi ed chimney sweep can perform this service. It is also
recommended that before each heating season the entire
system be professionally 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
fl y 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 ( fi nes) that is building up in the feed system 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
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.
GLASS - CLEANING, REMOVAL AND
REPLACEMENT 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.
