BURN POT AND LINER (2-3 days)

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

The  following  list  of  components  should  be  inspected  and  maintained  routinely  to  ensure  that  the 

appliance is operating at its optimum and giving you excellent heat value:

Burn Pot Liner

Ignitor

Air Intake 

Tube

Burn Pot

Cleaning of the burn pot and liner must only be done when stove is cold. To remove the burn pot and 

burn pot liner, open the door using the door handle provided (located on the right-hand side of the stove). 

Swing the door open. Lift the liner from the burn pot. Lift the burn pot from the firebox by gently lifting up 

the front of the burn pot, then sliding the assembly from the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge.
This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. Every two (2) to three (3) days (when the unit is cold), 

remove the burn-pot liner from the stove and inspected it to ensure proper air flow through the liner. 

Failure to keep the liner clean may cause a build up of fuel past the burn pot liner and up 

the drop tube.  This will cause the auger to jam and may result in pellets burning in the drop 

tube and hopper. Using a metal scrapper, remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the 

liner’s holes.  Then dispose of the scrapped ashes from the liner and from inside the burn-pot. Place the 

burn-pot back into the stove, making sure that the pipes are properly inserted into the burn pot. Place 

the liner back into the burn-pot, making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the ignitor 

tube. Pushing the liner up against the ignitor tube.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a 

build up of clinkers, this is an indication that the pellet fuel quality is poor or the stove may need cleaning.  

Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the slider / damper to produce the proper 

clean combustion. 

DOOR GLASS CLEANING (2-3 days)
Cleaning of the glass must only be done when stove is cold. Open the door by lifting the handle. The glass 

can be  cleaned by wiping down the outside and inside of the glass with a dry soft cloth. 
If the glass has build up that can not be removed with only the cloth, clean the glass using paper towel 

and a gas appliance glass cleaner, this may be purchased through most dealers. If a gas appliance glass 

cleaner is not available, use a damp paper towel dipped in fly ash to clean the glass. After the glass has 

been cleaned use the dry soft cloth to wiping down the outside and inside of the glass

DOOR LATCH (2-3 days)
Check the door latch every time the door is opened or closed to ensure proper movement.
