CAUTION: INSTALLATION AND REPAIR SHOULD
ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE
THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF.
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS:
• SHUT DOWN THE STOVE AND UNPLUG POWER
CORD TO ENSURE APPLIANCE IS COLD BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE WORK.
• Some brands of pellets produce more ash and clinkers than
others. Therefore the frequency of performing the following
cleaning procedures depends to a great degree on the type
of pellets burned.
• Not cleaning this unit will cause it to burn poorly and will void
your warranty for this appliance.
• A cleaning brush can be used to loosen any ash build-up
before vacuuming.
***DO NOT USE A STANDARD HOUSEHOLD VACUUM.
WHEN USING A SHOP VACUUM, A FINE DUST FILTER
MUST BE INSTALLED, AS THE STANDARD FILTERS
WILL LEAK THE FINE PARTICLES OF ASH INTO THE
HOME. DEPENDING ON THE SYSTEM, USE CAUTION
AS SOME DUST MAY STILL PASS THROUGH THE
VACUUM.***
***DO NOT VACUUM HOT ASH!***
• Using a drop cloth is recommended as some ash may spill
onto the fl oor during the cleaning process
Burn-Pot and Liner Cleaning
The Burn-Pot Liner has a number of holes in the bottom and
sides that provide combustion air to the pellets. The extreme
temperatures in the Burn-Pot can cause the impurities in the
pellets to form ash and clinkers.
The rotating Burn-Pot cleaner is designed to clean and move
spent ash out of the Burn-Pot Liner. However, some grades of
pellets may slowly restrict the holes in the Liner. The liner should
be inspected periodically to ensure the holes are clear.
Bur n-Pot Cleaner
Coupling
Burn-Pot Liner
The Burn-Pot (cradle the Liner sits in) should be emptied after
burning about 10 - 15 bags of pellets.
When the stove is cool, open the door and remove the Burn-Pot
Grate, push it back to release the tabs, then lift up. Disengage
the cleaner bar by rotating it until the pin on the end is free of
the coupler. Then slide the cleaner left and up. Once it clears
the liner, pull to the right to free the other end.
