FRESH AIR INTAKE (season)
Inspect periodically to be sure that it is not clogged with any foreign materials.
EXHAUST VENT (season)
This vent should be cleaned every year or every two (2) tons of pellets. We recommend contacting your
dealer for professional cleaning. To clean 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.
BLOWER MECHANISMS (season)
Unplug the stove then open the right and left side panels to access the two blowers. Vacuum all dust
from motors. DO NOT lubricate the motors. Check gaskets and replace if needed.
ALL HINGES (season)
Check all the hinges on the unit to ensure proper movement.
ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (weekly)
After extended use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the gasketing on using high-
temperature fiberglass gasket glue available from your local HUDSON RIVER dealer. This is important to
maintain an airtight assembly.
ASH PAN (weekly)
The ash pan is located under the burner. 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.
Freestanding: To remove the ash pan, simply turn the knob and pull out towards the front.
Insert: To remove the ash pan, remove the ash pan cover. Use a blade screwdriver to unlock the ash

DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.
HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES (weekly)
The heat exchanger tube cleaning rod is located oon the
front of the unit. Pull this rod in and out a few times to
remove any fly ash that may have accumulated on the
heat exchanger tubes. Different qualities of fuels will
produce varying amounts of fly ash; so cleaning of the
heat exchanger tubes should be done on a regular basis.
NEVER TOUCH THE TUBE CLEANING ROD WHEN
THE UNIT IS HOT.
