MAINTENTANCE

 

MAINTENANCE MUST ONLY BE DONE WHEN THE HEATER IS COLD AND THE POWER 

IS OFF AND UNPLUGGED. 

Please be aware that any metal parts in the firebox can remain hot, even after the fire is 

out  and after  the  shut down  cycle  is  complete.  Always  use  caution when  handling  any 

heater parts. 

ASH REMOVAL 

While  the  amount  of  ash  generated  by  this  unit  is  not  excessive  compared  to  wood  heaters, 

keeping the unit clean and free of ash is essential for peak performance. Excessive ash build up 

can hamper the air flow and reduces the heater’s efficiency, and can cause smoke. 

The  following  components  require  regular  maintenance  to  keep  ash  and  dust  levels  at  a 

minimum: 

1.  Burn  Pot  Liner:  Using  a  long  handled  metal  scraper  or  long  handled  flat  tipped 

screwdriver, remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the burn pot liner holes. 

Dispose  of  the  ashes  from  the  burn  pot  liner  and  from  inside  the  burn  pot  to  ensure 

proper air flow through the liner. 

2.  Heat  Exchange  Tube:  Close  the  door.  The  heat  exchange  tube  cleaner  rod  is  to  be 

pulled  back  and  forth  a  few  times  in  order  to  clean  away  any  fly  ash  that  may  have 

collected on the heat exchanger tubes 

3.  Ash Drawer: Shut the unit down and allow it to cool down completely and then remove 

the ashes from the ash drawer with a metal scoop. 

IMPORTANT: If you see smoke coming out of your unit into the room and the power has not 

failed, DO NOT OPEN THE HOPPER OR DOOR TO YOUR UNIT. Remain calm. Immediately 

press  the  OFF  button,  open  the  nearest  outside  door  and  windows  and  wait  for  all  signs  of 

smoke to clear. The smoke should dissipate quickly once the door and windows are opened. 

DISPOSAL OF ASHES 

When disposing of the ashes, place them in a metal or other non-combustible container with a 

tight fitting lid. Move them outdoors immediately to an area clear of combustible materials. Do 

not place them into plastic receptacles. 

CLINKERS 

Clinkers can restrict the air flow through the burn pot and affect the performance of the heater. If 

they become blocked, remove the liner when the unit is cold and clean/scrape the clinkers out. 

Clean the holes with a small pointed object if required. 

DOOR 

Clean  the  door  glass  and  door  frame  with  a  wet  soft  cloth  and  cleanser  regularly.  Surface 

scratches are acceptable and normal, but if the glass becomes cracked in any area, it will need 

to be replaced. 

Ensure all gaskets on the door are checked and replaced when necessary.
