Check the pellet vent for soot and creosote
build-up, and have it cleaned by a certified
chimney sweep if necessary.
The wind/rain cap should be cleared of any
dirt or debris. The pellet vent sections
should be inspected for soot and creosote
build-up. Any build-up over 1/4" must be
removed.
On stoves the dirtiest portion is often the
point where the vent turns upwards. The
elbow, center flue adapter, or "Tee" section
on vertical pellet vent systems has the most
build-up. Fortunately, the "Tee" and
center flue adapter have a built in clean out
cover. Simply remove the cover and
vacuum out. While open, use a flashlight
to look up the pellet vent to check for
build-up.
On inserts the dirtiest portion is often the
portion where the pellet vent turns upward.
Fortunately, this portion can often be
accessed by unclipping the vertical exhaust
extender (see "Insert Installation").
HINT: The more often you clean out the pellet vent, the more efficient your
heater will burn. Furthermore, you will reduce the chance for any
smoke spillage due to a clogged pellet vent system.
WARNING : Failure to clean the pellet vent system will lead to smoke spillage
into the room. Furthermore, whenever any portion of the pellet vent
is disconnected, the joints must be sealed with RTV 500
o
F. silicone
sealant.
