Maintenance
FAN ASSEMBLY
Periodic cleaning of the fan assembly (including fan blades) with a soft brush and vacuum cleaner will ensure longer life
and maximum efficiency. Routine lubrication of the fan motor is not required. However, should it become necessary to
replace the fan contact your local dealer.
PAINT
If the finish on the stove ever becomes blemished, you can repaint with high temperature paint available from your
dealer. DO NOT paint the stove while it is HOT.
RHEOSTAT REPLACEMENT
In the rare event that the fan rheostat fails, obtain a replacement from your Blaze King dealer and follow the procedure
below.
1.
Unplug the fan power cord from the wall.
2.
Remove the four screws on the fan cage containing the rheostat switch.
3.
Remove the blower from the cage.
4.
Locate and unplug the two wires coming from the rheostat switch.
5.
Pull the knob straight off the switch.
6.
Unscrew the nut holding the switch to the cage.
7.
Replace the switch, making sure the small position locating pin is fitted into the hole in the cage.
8.
To reinstall the switch, reverse the above steps being sure to tuck the wires back into the assembly so they do not
come in contact with the fan blade.
THERMOMETER
The catalyst thermometer has a built-in lag of 4-8 minutes. That means it will tell you what was happening 4-8 minutes
ago. It is only an indication of the temperatures of the gasses after they pass through the catalyst. The thermometer
probe must be cleaned at least once a year. Lift the thermometer from the stove once the stove is cooled down and
wipe or scrape the probe clean. When the thermometer is out of your stove, and at room temperature, the indicator
should point near the bottom of the "Inactive" zone. If the needle no longer points to the bottom of the "Inactive" zone
when the thermometer has been at room temperature for 10 minutes or longer, it may need adjustment. Holding the
probe with a pair of pliers, loosen the bolt on the top of the dial. Turn the dial to align the pointer with the bottom of the
"Inactive" zone, then retighten the bolt.
THERMOSTAT
Under normal operations, the thermostat should be set on a mid-range setting. At this setting the stove is capable of
heating an average sized home. The thermostat is adjusted at the factory and should not be tampered with. If the
thermostat breaks, the damper will automatically close.
