VII. Maintenance
Failure to maintain or properly use this appliance may cause a house fire. At the beginning of each
heating season this appliance, the connector pipe, and chimney should be inspected to see that it is in
good working condition.
Daily:

Check ash pan and remove and dump if full. Failure to remove ashes will result in ashes blocking
up your grate and your fire will not burn correctly. Ash pan will fill within several days depending
on the burn rate. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending final disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders are out and have thoroughly cooled before final disposal.

Clean glass. Brush fly ash off as it will etch into glass if left on.
CAUTION: THE ASH PAN AND PARTS OF YOUR STOKER WILL BE HOT. ALWAYS
WEAR GLOVES AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN EMPTYING ASH PAN OR
WORKING ON A HOT OR BURNING STOVE.
Weekly:

Pull small handle on the back of the flue collar out and push back in vigorously several times.
This will knock the fly ash off of the heat exchanger plates inside your stoker and down to the
bottom of the stoker.

Clean all ash and fly ash from floor inside of the stoker around ash pan.
Two months or after approximately 2 tons of coal: This cleaning time line will differ from other Energy
Master II owners depending on amount of coal burned, ash content of the coal, the burn rate, and draft of
the chimney.

Allow stoker to run out of coal, go out, and cool down.

Remove chimney connector pipes and check and remove any fly ash accumulation. This will
mainly be at the bottom of elbows and horizontal runs.

Remove all fly ash from heat exchanger plates inside and below the flue collar and on the floor of
the stoker around the ash pan.

Carefully remove or raise cast iron grate and vacuum coal fines and fly ash from under the grate.

Clean coal fines and dust from under feeder shovel

Clean glass thoroughly
End Of The Season:
Summertime moisture and high humidity can be absorbed by dust and fly ash and cause rust and
corrosion. A clean stoker helps reduce this.

Do all the 2 month items plus the following.

At the end of your heating season remove all coal from hopper. Letting hopper run out of coal
while burning is best as it will also remove any moisture left in stoker from damp coal.

Remove all ash and dust from inside stoker with vacuum and paint brush.

Carefully raise or remove cast iron grate and vacuum ash and dust from under it.

Disconnect stove pipes from stoker. Thoroughly clean all fly ash, soot, and dust out of pipe.
Especially elbows and horizontal runs.

Check and clean chimney if necessary.

Clean all fly ash and dust from heat exchanger plates through flue collar.

Remove hopper and clean all dust, and coal fines from feeder and under feeder plate. If rust or
corrosion is observed on feeder sand lightly and coat with spray paint or a rust inhibiter like WD-
40.

If using a power vent, it must be disassembled, cleaned, and lubricated according to the
instructions that came with the power vent.
