exhaust blower should be off. Allow the appliance to
completely cool down.

12. Cleaning Exhaust Blower - Requires No Lubrication
• Frequency: Yearly or as needed
• By: Quality Service Technician/Homeowner

opening both the left side curtain and the left pedestal
access door. To clean the impeller it is easier to access
through the right side curtain.

• Frequency: Yearly or as needed
• By: Qualied Service Technician
• Task: Contact your local dealer.
15. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal
in Exhaust Venting System.
• Frequency: Yearly or as needed
• By: Qualied Service Technician/Homeowner
• Task:
The products of combustion will contain small particles
of y ash. The y ash will collect in the exhaust vent-
ing system and restrict the ow of the ue gases. At
start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there
is a shutdown or incorrect operation of the appliance it
will lead to some soot formation. This will collect in the
exhaust venting system.
The venting system may need to be cleaned at least
once a year or more often depending upon the quality
of your fuel or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sec-
tions. Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal
sections.
11. Cleaning the Hopper
• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to
clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up. A combi-
nation of sawdust and pellets on the auger reduces the
amount of fuel supply to the repot. This can result in
nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow the
appliance to completely cool down and then unplug it.
b Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.
c. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.
10. Cleaning the Glass
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
a. Appliance must be completely cool before cleaning
glass.
b. Use a damp paper towel or any non-abrasive glass
cleaner. Wipe off with dry towel.
13. Door Latch Inspection
• Frequency: Periodically
• By: Homeowner
• Task:
The same latch is used on both the front door and the ash
drawer. To adjust, open the latch and pivot the holding
rod out. Loosen the jam nut on the rod. With a Phillips
head screw driver, turn the rod clockwise to tighten. The
latch handle should snap securely in place when adjusted
properly. After adjusting the latch, be sure to tighten the jam
nut on the rod to hold the adjustment.
