Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is important to give you trouble free operation of any product
you own. The same is true with the St. Croix Multi-Fuel stove. This stove has been
designed in such a way to minimize preventive maintenance, thus minimizing any
corrective maintenance, while maintaining a very user friendly stove. Just like the owner
of a car would perform preventive maintenance, the owner of a Multi-Fuel stove would
perform preventive maintenance to maximize its performance. The interval of time for
each maintenance item will vary depending on the Quality of fuel used and the quantity
of Fuel burnt.. Improper Maintenance and/or lack of preventive maintenance will result in
a poor operating stove, poor flame patterns, excessive smoke and possible stove damage.
Daily Maintenance - (Performed by Customer)
a) First remove the Clinker from the previous day from the Ash pan. This applies to the
Lancaster and Greenfield models only These models have a small Ash pan
b) Inspect the burn grate and burn pot. Drop the clinker out of the Burn pot as needed.
This may vary, when burning grain, as a “Rule of Thumb” the Clinker must be
removed every 44 hours when the stove is continuously running on the low setting
and every 18 hours when the stove is continuously running on the high setting.
c) When burning Pellets or Cherry Pits the ash in the pot must be removed more
frequently. The frequency depends on the quality of the pellets and amount of fuel
burned.
How to Drop the Clinker
1 – Push in the “Coal Rake” and “shave” off the hot coals.
