MAINTENANCE
CREOSOTE BUILD UP
The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the
exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of flue gases. This build up is called creosote.
Incomplete combustion, which can occur during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the
heater, will lead to some creosote build up which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The
exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is
necessary.
CARBON REMOVAL
During normal operation, carbon from the combustion of pellet fuel will tend to build up on the tip
of the auger, on the burn pot liner, sides of the burn pot, and in the mouth of the feed tube. It is
essential that this residue be removed to ensure trouble free operation of the unit.
To remove this carbon, simply scrape it off using the blade of a flat tipped screwdriver or similar
instrument.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Prior to burn season
- Inspect the heater, including the ash drawer, burn pot and hopper and ensure they are
clear of any foreign materials.
- Inspect and clean the exhaust vent and flue system, if necessary.
Daily (or whenever using the heater)
- Before each burn, check the burn pot for clinkers and clean if necessary.
Weekly
- Remove any ash from the grate, heat exchange tubes and ash drawer.
- Check the door glass. If the view of the burn pot is obscured, clean the door glass. Do
NOT clean door glass when hot.
At end of burn season
- Ensure heater has been shut down completely and cooled down.
- Remove the burn pot liner, and clean it thoroughly, and re-install it.
- Remove all the ash from the ash drawer.
- Check all painted surfaces. If there is any wear or exposed surfaces, touch up paint is
available from your dealer. Ensure you use a high temperature paint made specifically
for heating appliances.
- Check for air leaks around the door and ash drawer and replace gaskets if necessary.
- Clean the flue. This will prevent corrosives to build up and damage the flue.
