Note: You should clean the furnace on an “as needed” basis, typically once a week. Not all wood pellets
burn the same, some may require you to clean the furnace more frequently. Your warranty does not cover
ash corrosion. The furnace must be completely cleaned of ash and creosote at least twice a year, including
at the end of the heating season. Neglecting to clean your furnace or cover the chimney when not in use, will
void the warranty.
Cleaning the Firebox (Weekly)
• Check that the power is disconnected to the burner and the furnace is cool.
• Open the ash chamber door.
• Use the ash shovel to remove the ash.
• Discard of the ash in a metal container away from combustibles.
• Clean the area around the door seal to ensure the door closes properly.
• Close the ash door, making sure the door is closed tight.
Cleaning the Heat Exchanger (Weekly)
• Remove blue hose and tipping chute from the burner. Do not damage the wires attached to the chute.
• Open the tube access box door.
• Remove the swirlies and clean.
• Clean each tube with the supplied brush.
• Clean out all ash that is left in the tube access box.
• Replace the swirlies and close the door.
• Replace the tipping chute and blue hose on the burner.
Annual Furnace Water Jacket Blow Down
If antifreeze is being used, water should be drained from the bottom of the furnace to remove any sediment
buildup. The water should drain until it runs clean, approximately 2 gallons. You can also completely drain and
flush your furnace if needed. Remember to recycle your used antifreeze. If antifreeze is not in use, drain, flush
and refill your furnace.
Note: Leaving your furnace empty exposes the water jacket to oxygen which will shorten the life of your fur
-
nace. Boiler treatment must be used.
Annual Water Testing
After the blow down procedure is preformed on the furnace, a sample of water is to be taken from the bottom
of the furnace. A water testing kit and mailing instructions is available at your dealer.
Annual Maintenance:
Annual maintenance should be performed in the spring when you shut down the furnace for the season.
• Clean all of the ash from the tube access box.
• Clean the heat transfer tubes.
• Clean out the Renovator pellet burner as previously described.
• Shovel out the fire box.
• Blow any visible dust off of the motors, pumps, fans, etc.
• Make sure to cover the chimney to prevent water from getting into your furnace when not in use.
