6. Maintenance
Unplug and let the STOVE cool before performing any maintenance or cleaning. 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 quality of the pellets burned. Not cleaning this
unit will cause it to burn poorly and will avoid your stove's warranty.
BURN POT CLEANING
The combustion fan comes on at high speed once an hour to blow the byproducts of combustion out
of the burn pot. However, the burn pot should be cleaned more thoroughly after burning about 10 bags
of pellets. The burn pot has a number of gaps 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.
When the stove is cool, open the front door and lift out the iron burn pot. Scrape the inner bottom and
sides of the pot with a screwdriver to remove all ash and clinkers from these surfaces.
Besides, please also clear the bars of the igniter carefully, although it was made of ceramic, it can be
easily broken by smash them with some hard stuffs. Make sure all the gaps in the bottom of pot are
open. Place the burn pot in the hole from which it was removed. Make sure the high side of the pot is
rotated toward the front of the stove. Push the burn pot down so surface A is tight against the steel
supporting the pot. Do not substitute any other grate or pot for use in this stove.
CLEANING GLASS
Caution: Do not open the front door when the stove is hot. To open the door, follow the first two steps
listed in Front Door Removal. Clean the glass using a soft cloth or paper towel and Windex or wood
stove window cleaner. A damp cloth with small amount of ash from the firebox can also be used to
clean the glass.
