MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Caution: Turn off your stove and allow to cool. Once your stove has properly shut down and cooled,
unplug it before performing any cleaning or service.
Caution: Use only a certified ash vacuum to clean your stove. Using a regular home or shop vacuum
can result in a fire.
Caution: People with breathing problems should be careful to not inhale ash or dust during the stove
cleaning process. If you suffer from any form of lung disease or have difficulty breathing, use of a dust
mask is recommended.
Caution: Even after allowing your stove to cool, hot embers may still be present in the firebox. Use
caution when you open the door and during the cleaning process. Use care in order to prevent any
remaining embers from igniting clothing or objects close to your stove.
To maintain proper operation of your pellet stove, it is important to regularly clean the unit. Failure to
regularly clean your stove could lead to decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and an
increased chance of component failure. Component failure caused by lack of proper cleaning is not
covered under warranty.
Listed below are recommended cleaning intervals and procedures for cleaning the user serviceable
areas of your pellet stove:
Component Interval
•
