Yearly Maintenance 

 

Yearly maintenance is designed to assure safe 
operation, prolong the life of the stove and help 
preserve its aesthetic appeal.

Spring Shutdown

. After the last burn in the 

spring, cool the stove. Remove all pellets 
from the hopper and the auger. Thoroughly 
clean the burn grate, burn grate box, ash pan 
and ash traps behind the ash pan. 

(To locate 

the ash traps see Figure 7 on page 11)

 

 

NOTE: UNPLUG THE STOVE

. Open the side 

panels of the stove. Carefully clean or vacuum 
any sawdust, cobwebs and household dust.  

Carefully vacuum around the fan motors. If 
electrical wires become disconnected call your 
dealer for service. 

 

2.

 

The exhaust system should be thoroughly 
cleaned at least annually. Call your dealer for 
this service.  

 
3.

 

The motor/fan area behind the firebox and under 
the hopper should be vacuumed annually.
