Routine Cleaning and Maintenance
DOOR GLASS CLEANING (Weekly) 
Cleaning of the glass must only be done when stove is cold. Open the door by lifting the handle. The glass 
can be cleaned by wiping down the outside and inside of the glass with a dry soft cloth. 
If the glass has build up that can not be removed with only the cloth, clean the glass using paper towel 
and a gas appliance glass cleaner, this may be purchased through most dealers. If a gas appliance glass 
cleaner is not available, use a damp paper towel dipped in y ash to clean the glass. After the glass has 
been cleaned use the dry soft cloth to wipe down the outside and inside of the glass. 
ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (Weekly)
After  extended use  the  gasketing  may come  loose.  To  repair  this, glue  the  gasketing  on using  high-
temperature fiberglass  gasket  glue  available  from your  local  dealer.  This  is  important  to  maintain  an 
airtight assembly. 
ASH BOX (Weekly)
IMPORTANT: The unit must be OFF while the ash pan is removed.
The ash box is located behind the lower door (see Figure 10). To remove the ash box, lift the latch on the 
right, open the ash box door, and lift it out. 
Dump the ashes into a metal container stored away from combustibles. Monitor the ash level every week. 
Remember that different pellet fuels will have different ash contents. Ash content is a good indication 
of fuel efficiency and quality.  Refer to “
saFety 
Warnings  and  recOmmendatiOns”  for  disposal 
of  ashes.  Vacuum  the  inside  of  the  ash  pan 
compartment inside the pedestal including the 
hole at the top back of the compartment. 
Insert  the  ash  box  fully  and  close  ash  box 
door. 
DO  NOT  PLACE  UNBURNED  OR  RAW 
PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.
