ASH PAN (weekly)
The ash pan is located under the ash shelf. To remove the ash pan, open the ash drawer by simply turning
the latch and then pull the ash pan out towards the front. Dump the ashes into a metal container stored away
from combustibles. Monitor the ash level every week. Remember that different pellet fuels will have different
ash contents. Ash content is a good indication of fuel efficiency and quality. Refer to “
intrOductiOn - saFety
Warnings and recOmmendatiOns” for disposal of ashes. It is important to latch the ash pan tightly when
re-installing it.
DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.
HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES (weekly)
Open the cast front and the rod is located under the unit top, in the center of the stove just above the door.
This handle is to be pulled out a few times (ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS COLD) in order to clean away any
fly ash that may have collected on the heat exchanger tubes. As different types of pellets produce different
amounts of ash, cleaning of the tubes should be done on a regular basis to enable the unit to run efficiently.

FRESH AIR INTAKE (season)
Inspect periodically to be sure that it is not clogged with any foreign materials.
In order to properly maintain your unit and ensure optimal performance, it is important to thoroughly vacuum
out the exhaust passages. It is recommended that the exhaust passages be cleaned every 1-2 months
depending on use. Make certain that the unit has cooled before attempting to clean.
Step 1 -
There are two Exhaust Passage Cover Plates. They are located on the
lower left and right sides of the unit. Remove the bolts securing the plates
with a 5/16” hex socket.
Step 2 -
With the cover removed, a vacuum may be inserted into the exhaust
passage to clean out any dust or ash that may have accumulated. Repeat
on the opposite side. Inspect the exhaust passage with a flashlight to
ensure adequate cleaning. Re-attach the Cover Plates after cleaning.
NOTE: The slider/damper may require adjusting after cleaning
the exhaust passage. Refer to Slider/Damper Set-up section of
your manual.
