DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING UNIT
Over time ash or dust may accumulate on the blades of the circulation & exhaust
fans. The fans should be inspected, periodically, and if any accumulation is present
vacuumed clean as the ash or dust can impede the fans performance. It is also
possible that creosote may accumulate in the exhaust fan therefore, this must be
brushed clean. The exhaust fan can be found behind the left side panel (facing the
front of the heater), the circulation fan can be found behind the right side panel.
To access the igniter, remove the air inlet tube and cover (2 screws). The auger
motor is located in the center rear of the unit. Note: When cleaning, take care not
to damage the fan blades.
CHECK AND 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 AND 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 3/4” 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.
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 - CLEANING, REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF BROKEN DOOR GLASS
Cleaning - 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. Once the heater has cooled, remove the door from the heater.
2. Remove the rope gasket from the door followed by the eight(8) nuts holding the glass retainer in place.
3. While wearing gloves, carefully remove any loose pieces of glass from the door frame.
4. Replace the glass and gasket, making sure the gasket runs the full perimeter of the glass edge.
5. Re-install the retainer and eight nuts and rope gasket using high temperature silicone to adhere the gasket
to the door.
6. Never use substitute materials for 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.
