Exhaust Blower Cleaning
Although the exhaust blower and blower housing were designed to minimize ash build‐up,
some fly‐ash will still accumulate there throughout the burning season. The amount and type
of ash will depend on the type of pellets and venting system, but generally this accumulation
will be mild. If, when cleaning the exhaust blower, a large accumulation of fly‐ash is found,
cleaning the exhaust blower and housing should be performed monthly or bimonthly to
prevent this excess buildup.
Instructions
Before beginning the exhaust blower cleaning procedure, be certain the unit is
unplugged and thoroughly cooled down.
Loosen and remove the 5/16" screw which secures the exhaust blower access door to
the unit.
Once the door is open, the exhaust blower will be clearly visible.
Disconnect the venting system from the exhaust blower just enough that you will be
able to remove the exhaust blower from the stove.
Unplug the two wires which connect the stove wiring harness to the exhaust blower
using the quick connect plugs.
Loosen and remove the 5/16" screw, on the top of the exhaust blower output
connection, which holds the thermal sensor to the exhaust blower.
Loosen the five (5) 5/16" self‐drilling screws which hold the exhaust blower to the
exhaust blower tube; a 12" socket extension will likely be necessary to reach all of the
screws.
Lift the exhaust blower up and out of the stove. The gasket which seals the exhaust
blower to the exhaust blower tube is fragile, so take extra care when removing the
blower. Even when being careful, though, it is easy to tear this fragile gasket, and since
an airtight seal is crucial here, it is best to replace this gasket (Part # ‐ PU‐CBG) every
time the exhaust blower is removed.
With the exhaust blower removed, use a utility vacuum to remove any ash accumulation
in the exhaust blower tube.
Use a soft paint brush and carefully remove any ash accumulation from the inside of the
exhaust blower, and from the exhaust blower fan blade.
Inspect the exhaust blower motor for dust accumulation and carefully remove it,
ensuring that all air cooling holes into the motor are open and free of dust deposits.
Install the blower in the reverse order as described above. Remember to check the
condition of the exhaust blower gasket AND remember to reconnect the thermal sensor
to the top of the exhaust blower outlet before reinstalling the side panel.
