Routine Cleaning and Maintenance
Figure 36: Firebox Components Removal.
POST SEASON CLEAN-UP
Once you are finished using the pellet appliance for the season, unplug the stove for added electrical
protection. It is very important that the stove be cleaned and serviced as stated above.
CLEANING PLATED SURFACES
Painted surfaces should be wiped with a damp cloth periodically.
It is important to note that fingerprints and other marks can leave a permanent stain on plated finishes.
To avoid this, give the surface a quick wipe with denatured alcohol on a soft cloth BEFORE lighting the
fireplace. Never clean surfaces when they are hot. Do not use other cleaners or abrasives as they may
leave a residue or scratches, which can become permanently etched into the surface.
FIREBOX PANEL
The paint on the steel firebox panels may peel. This is due to extreme conditions applied to the paint and
is in no way covered by warranty.
REPLACING DOOR GLASS
It is recommended that your HUDSON RIVER dealer replace the glass if broken.
The door glass is made of high temperature PYRO CERAMIC 5 mm thick. Replace only with part# EF-061.
