12. Cleaning the Glass
• Frequency: When clear view of the repot becomes
obscure
• By: Homeowner
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.
10. Cleaning the Hopper
• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel
• By: Homeowner
After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to
clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up.
A combination 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.
b. Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.
c. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.
11. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal
in Exhaust Venting System.
• Frequency: Yearly or more frequently depending on
ash build-up.
• By: Qualied Service Technician/Homeowner
Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been unplugged
and the exhaust blower is off.
The products of combustion will contain small particles of y
ash. The y ash will collect in the exhaust venting 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 vent-
ing 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 sections. Ash will build
up more quickly in the horizontal sections.
13. Cleaning Convection Blower - Requires No
Lubrication
• Frequency: Yearly or as needed
• By: Qualied Service Technician
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and
completely cooled.
b. Remove both the left and right cast sides.
c. Use either a can of compressed air or an air com-
pressor.
d. Reach as far back as possible and spray com-
presssed air liberally from both sides at the blower.
This will remove any lint or dust build-up on the
impellers.
14. Cleaning Exhaust Blower - Requires No
Lubrication
• Frequency: Yearly or as needed
• By: Qualied Service Technician
• Task: Contact your local dealer.
15. Door Latch Inspection
• Frequency: Prior to heating season
• By: Homeowner
The door latch is non-adjustable but the gasketing between
the glass and rebox should be inspected periodically to
make sure there is a good seal.

undamaged.
