HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES

 

(weekly)

Open  the  door  and  the  rod  is  located  under  the  unit  top,  in  the  center 

of  the  stove  just  behind  the  door  (see  figure  to  left).  This  handle  is  to 

be pushed in and 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.

the burn pot and burn pot liner.

EXHAUST VENT

 (season)

This vent should be cleaned every year or after two 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.

DOOR GLASS

It is recommended that your dealer replace the glass if broken.

The door glass is made of high temperature PYRO CERAMIC 5 mm thick. The center panel is 15.4 x 9.0 inches (39.0 

cm x 22.9 cm) and side panels are 2.6 x 9.0 inches (6.7 cm x 22.9 cm). They must be replaced with (PART # EF-

062). Substitute materials will not be permitted.

POST SEASON CLEAN-UP

Once you are finished using the pellet appliance for the season, unplug the stove for added electrical protection.  It 
is very important that the stove be cleaned and serviced as stated above.
