d.
The clean-out port cover should be rem oved and the
vent pipe checked every four to six weeks or
whenever you utilize the clean-out m ode on the
control dial.
e.
Fly-ash can also accum ulate in the vent pipe and
term ination cap. Inspect exhaust system frequently to
m aintain free flow of exhaust fum es and fly-ash. The
frequency of clean-out depends entirely on the quality
of the pellets, so you will have to initially m onitor the
buildup in the pellet vent pipe.
2. Hopper Clean Out:
Vacuum the accum ulated saw dust
in the hopper weekly. Keep free of debris and foreign
m aterial. AN ACCUMULATION OF SAW DUST CAN
CAUSE IRREGULAR PELLET FEED. For best results
this should be done on a regular basis depending upon
how often the heater is used. If you burn the heater all
the tim e you should do this every eight to ten days.
3. Cleaning the Exhaust Fan Blade & Heat Exchanger:
The exhaust blower should be checked for excessive Fly-
ash buildup. Regular and routine m aintenance utilizing
the
CLEAN OUT
feature will keep the exhaust blower
housing and fan blades clean. This cleaning can only be
done when the heater is NOT burning. For best results
run the fan in the
CLEAN OUT
position
w ith the door
open
for approxim ately one m inute or until ash is no
longer being picked up by the fan. Rem em ber, you m ust
always check the clean out tee after utilizing the CLEAN
OUT feature
(Figure 13)
.
4. Keeping the Glass Clean:
If soot deposits accum ulate
on the glass, clean with window glass cleaner and a
paper towel when the glass is cold.
5. Polishing the Gold and Chrom e:
All chrom e and gold
plating used on the EASYFIRE heater can be cleaned
with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
6. Cleaning & Polishing Gold Plated Parts:
Gold is a soft
m etal and therefore a fragile surface. Prior to the first
burn it is im portant to use W index or com parable product
and a soft clean cloth to wipe any m arks off all gold
surfaces or the heat will cause the m arks to rem ain in the
surface perm anently. Always clean the gold surface
when the heater is COOL.
7. Door glass replacem ent:
Should the door glass
becom e broken it m ay be replaced by scraping the sealer
from around the outer edge of the glass. Carefully pry
glass from door fram e then clean all sealer from fram e.
Obtain a replacem ent glass from your local dealer and
attach glass to door using High Tem perature Silicon
Sealer (m in. 400 ° F). Apply sealer to all four corners of
the glass and set glass into fram e. Apply sealer to m ating
edge of glass and fram e. Allow two hours dry tim e before
installing door onto heater.
Note: Replace w ith Corning
Pyro-Ceram ic Glass only. Refer to parts list for
specifications.
8. Plenum clean out & draft adjustm ent:
Access to clean
under the burn pot is through the plenum clean out plates
on right or left side low front
(Figure 16)
. Rem ove the
fastener and plate and vacuum out ash accum ulations.
Additionally, the draft plate is accessible through this
opening and m aybe turned with a long standard screw
driver clockwise to reduce the draft through the burn pot.
This adjustm ent is m ade generally only during
installation.
