STEPS 2 & 3 CLEANING THE ESP PROBE AND FINES COMPARTMENTOMPARTMENT
Remove the side access panel located on back right of insert (figure a above) and vacuum out the compartment
behind it. Be careful not to bend the ESP probe seen on the left side of photo. Any damage to probe caused by
bending or mishandling will result in having to replace item. You need only dust the probe during the service. If
there is excessive carbon build up you can loosen the screw and pull it out of the stove to lightly clean with a scotch
brite pad. Leave that panel open when done; we’ll come back to that later
.
Located on the same side of the pellet insert is the fines compartment (figure b & c above) that is accessed by
removing the wing nut. Once removed, vacuum out and then reassemble.
STEP 4: CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER
The above photos show how the heat exchanger is accessed for cleaning. These parts should be removed and
dusted as well as the accordion heat exchanger behind them. You can paint the front of the panels with high heat
paint if you like to cover over any rust. At this time you brush out the exhaust tubes thoroughly with the brush
that came with the stove and then clean out the residue from brushing at the side panel for esp probe that you left
open in step 2 (figure a). Once done you can seal up the esp access panel. Do not reinstall the heat exchanger
covers until step 6 has been completed to avoid a broken glass.
STEP 5: CLEANING THE BURN POT
The bottom cover to the burn pot should be removed. Aggressively scrape the burn pot with the Harman scraper
and then a putty knife or slotted screw driver. Tap on the burn pot with a hammer a few times using medium force
to loosen scale on igniter then inspect to make sure the small air holes are not impacted. Then vacuum burnpot
fully. If any air holes are clogged, use a thin nail or paper clip to clear. Note any unusual wear to burn pot or
auger. Call us if something doesn’t look right.
