PROVIDENCE INSERT

PELLET STOVE

28

Risk  of  electrical  shock.  Disconnect  power  cord  before 
servicing. Do not operate with covers removed. Always 
turn your heater off and let it cool before cleaning.

MAINTENANCE

The  PROVIDENCE requires  routine  maintenance 
for  maximum  performance  and  prolonged  life  of 
parts  and  components,  and  it  is  mandatory  for 
warranty to remain in effect.

Soot  and  Fly  Ash 

Formation  and  Need  for 

Removal:  The  products  of  combustion  will 
contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will 
collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict 
the flow of flue gasses. Incomplete combustion

such  as  that  which  occurs  during  start-up,  shut 
down  or  incorrect  operation  of  the  room 
heater

will  lead  to  some  soot  formation  which 

will  collect  in  the  exhaust  venting  system.  The 
exhaust  venting  system  should  be  inspected  at 
least once every year. 

The  following  procedures  should  be  performed
regularly and may require more frequent attention if 
a low-quality pellet is used.

Daily Maintenance

1. Firepot-

a. scrape  firepot  every  1-2  days 

depending  on  usage  and  type  of 
pellet

b. Ash  and  clinker  build  up  in  the 

firepot will affect the quality of burn 
and  can  cause ignition  issues.  More 
frequent  cleaning  may  be  necessary 
with poor quality or high ash fuel.

Weekly Maintenance

1. Ash  removal  from  firebox- approximately 

every week

a. Clean  and  vacuum  ash  build  up 

weekly or as needed. See Figures 13
& 14. 

b. With  door  open,  push  clean  button 

and  allow  fan  to  run  30-45  seconds 
to blow excess ash out flue. 

2. Glass  cleaning- approximately  every  1-2 

weeks

a. Clean  glass  with  stove  glass  cleaner 

as  needed  when  fire  view  is 
obstructed. 

3. Heat  exchanger- approximately  every  2 

weeks

a. Remove  2 side  baffle  plates  for 

access  to  internal  heat  exchanger 
fins.  Use  brush  to  remove  ash  build 
up.  Vacuum  heat  exchanger  and 
below  exhaust  channels.  See  Figure 
13.

b. With  door  open,  push  clean  button 

and  allow  fan  to  run  30-45  seconds 
to blow excess ash out flue. 

4. Empty  ash  pan- approximately  every  2-4 

weeks

a. Empty  build  up  ash  build  up  in  pan 

as needed. This is necessary every 2-
4  weeks  but  can  be  more  based  on 
the  type  of  pellet  used.  See  Figure 
14.

b. Cooled ash must be dumped into  an

airtight  metal  container.  Dispose  of 
ash properly to avoid a fire. 

5. Air  wash  system- approximately  every  2-4 

weeks

a. Remove  air  wash  and  clean  any  ash 

build up.
