FANS – DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING UNIT
Over time ash or dust may accumulate on the blades
of the circulation & exhaust fans. The fans should be
inspected, periodically, and if any accumulation is
present vacuum clean as the ash or dust can impede
the fans performance. It is also possible that creosote
may accumulate in the exhaust fan therefore, this must
be brushed clean.
The exhaust fan can be found behind the left side
panel (facing the front of the heater), the circulation fan
can be found behind the right side panel. To access the
igniter, remove the air inlet tube and cover (2 screws).
The auger motor is located in the center rear of the unit.
Note: When cleaning, take care not to damage the fan blades. To access these clean outs, you must remove
both side panels. The clean outs are secured to the firebox with (2) 5/16" screws. Remove the clean outs and
vacuum out any accumulated ash. This should be done at least once per month or more frequently if large
amounts of ash are noticed while cleaning or if the stove does not seem to be burning properly
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the heat exchange tube cleaner while the pellet stove is in operation or
cooling down; wait until pellet stove has cooled completely before performing this procedure.
CHECK AND CLEAN THE HOPPER
Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any sawdust (fines) that is building up in the feed system
or pellets that are sticking to the hopper surface. Clean as needed.
DOOR AND GLASS GASKETS
Inspect the main door and glass window gaskets periodically. The main door may need to be removed to have
frayed, broken, or compacted gaskets replaced by your authorized dealer. This unit's door uses a 3/4" diameter
