conned areas can be dangerous. Make sure you
stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good
working order and sealing properly to ensure
unintended exposure. It is recommended that you
use both smoke and CO monitors in areas having
the potential to generate CO.
CHECK & CLEAN THE HOPPER
Check the hopper periodically to determine if there
is any sawdust (nes) that is building up in the feed
system or pellets that are sticking to the hopper
surface. Clean as needed.
DOOR & GLASS GASKETS
Inspect the main door and glass window gaskets
periodically. The main door may need to be removed
to have frayed, broken, or compacted gaskets
replaced by your authorized dealer. This unit’s door
uses a 5/8” diameter rope gasket.
BLOWER MOTORS
Clean the air holes on the motors of both the exhaust
and distribution blowers annually. Remove the
exhaust blower from the exhaust duct and clean out
the internal fan blades as part of your fall start-up.
If you have indoor pets your power motors should
be inspected monthly to make sure they are free of
animal hair build up. Animal hair build up in blowers
can result in poor performance or unforeseen safety
hazards.
PAINTED SURFACES
Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp
cloth. If scratches appear, or you wish to renew your
paint, contact your authorized dealer to obtain a can
of suitable high-temperature paint.
GLASS
We recommend using a high quality glass cleaner.
Should a buildup of creosote or carbon accumulate,
you may wish to use 000 steel wool and water to
clean the glass. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO
NOT perform the cleaning while the glass is HOT. Do
not attempt to operate the unit with broken glass.
Replacement glass may be purchased from your U.S.
Stove dealer. If glass is broken, follow these removal
procedures:
1. Remove the four (4) screws and glass retainers.
2. While wearing leather gloves (or any other gloves
suitable for handling broken glass), carefully
remove any loose pieces of glass from the door
frame. Dispose of all broken glass properly. ONLY
high temperature ceramic glass of the correct size
and thickness may be used. DO NOT substitute
alternative materials for the glass. Contact your
authorized dealer to obtain this glass.
3. Re-install the new glass by re-attaching the
retainers and screws, be careful not to over
tighten the screws for this could damage the
glass.
DO NOT abuse the door glass by striking, slamming,
or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the
glass removed, cracked, or broken.
FALL START UP
Prior to starting the rst re of the heating season,
check the outside area around the exhaust and air
intake systems for obstructions. Clean and remove
any y ash from the exhaust venting system. Clean
any screens on the exhaust system and on the
outside air intake pipe. Turn all of the controls on and
make sure that they are working properly. This is also
a good time to give the entire stove a good cleaning
throughout.
SPRING SHUTDOWN
After the last burn in the spring, remove any
remaining pellets from the hopper and the auger
feed system. Scoop out the pellets and then run
the auger until the hopper is empty and pellets
stop owing (this can be done by pressing the “ON”
button with the viewing door open). Vacuum out the
hopper. Thoroughly clean the burn pot, and rebox.
It may be desirable to spray the inside of the cleaned
hopper with an aerosol silicone spray if your stove is
in a high humidity area. The exhaust system should
be thoroughly cleaned.
