11. Cleaning, Maintenance and Service
11.1. Daily Cleaning
11.1.1. Cleaning the burn pot
A clean burn pot is essential to ensure the
pellet stove operates correctly and without
problems. During operation, baked on ash
deposits will develop and must be regularly
removed (as required), as these impede correct
combustion. Correct daily cleaning will ensure
the stove has optimal combustion and good
performance, and avoid operational failures
which may ultimately require assistance from a
technician to return the stove to working order.
Clean also the hole in which the burn pot sits,
as ash which falls through the burn pot will
impede airflow.
11.2.2. Cleaning the combustion chamber
The stove requires light but regular cleaning to
ensure stable operation. Clean the combustion
chamber every 2-3 days, for example using a
vacuum cleaner. Ensure that the ash is com-
pletely cool and all embers are extinguished.
NB: The combustion chamber stone are a
porous material and should be treated ac-
cordingly.
11.2.3. Cleaning the glass
Clean the glass whenever necessary. Depen-
ding on the pellet quality and heat level used
(a low heat level leads to more dirt/deposits),
deposits will eventually form on the glass. The-
se can be removed using paper or a cloth and
glass cleaning agent. If the deposits are hard/
baked on, you can use a plastic pot scourer
and glass cleaning agent.
11.2. Weekly Cleaning
11.2.1. Cleaning the ash pan
The ash pan must be emptied about once a
week, depending on how often the stove is in
operation and the quality of the pellets.
Open the lower stove door to access the ash
pan.
