PERIODIC MAINTENANCE … CONTINUED

INSPECT AND CLEAN THE CHIMNEY: [ELECTRICAL CORD UNPLUGGED] Under some

conditions fly ash build up in the chimney system may occur rapidly. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust

venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup,

shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the

exhaust venting system. Check the clean out tees and elbows in the exhaust system periodically to determine

the cleaning schedule. To remove dust from the vent pipe, tap lightly on the pipe to dislodge any loose ash.

Open the bottom of the “T” to dump the ash, then vacuum as much of the ash out of the vent pipe as possible.

3 or 4-inch chimney brushes are available for chimney cleaning. If the exhaust system has a screen on it,

frequently clean the screen. A plugged screen will shut off combustion air and cause a fire to die or burn

poorly.

PAINTED SURFACES: Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp cloth. If scratches appear or

you wish to renew your paint, contact your Dealer to obtain a can of Satin Black (“Stove Bright”) paint.

Tip: use a hair dryer to warm the surface prior to touching up the paint,

this helps to reduce paint runs.

Note: Do not use any other brand than “Stove Bright” as they may not be compatible.

NOTE: Your “Glow Boy” Dealer may offer a periodic stove cleaning service. Check with them on timing

and cost of this service.

FALL START UP: Prior to lighting the first fire check the outside area around the exhaust and air intake

systems for obstructions. Clean the screens on the exhaust system and the outside air intake pipe. Turn all

controls on to make sure they are working prior to lighting the first fire. Clean and remove fly ash from exhaust

venting. Our local Authorized Dealer should have 3” and 4” chimney brushes available. This is also a good

time to give the entire stove a good cleaning throughout.

SPRING SHUTDOWN: [COLD

STOVE AND COLD ASHES ONLY].

After the last burn in the spring remove

pellets from the hopper and the auger.

Scoop out the pellets then run the

auger until the hopper is empty and

pellets stop flowing. Vacuum out the

hopper. Thoroughly clean the burn

grate, burn box, ash pit and ash traps.

It’s desirable to spray the inside of the

cleaned hopper with an aerosol

silicone spray if your stove is in a high

humidity area. The exhaust system

should be thoroughly cleaned.

YEARLY SERVICING: A yearly

servicing and cleaning by your

Authorized “Glow Boy” Dealer is

recommended. A fee may be charged

for this service.
