CLEANING
a. Heat Exchange Tubes – Your stove is designed with a
built-in heat exchange tube cleaner. This should be used
every two or three days to remove accumulated ash on
the tubes, which reduces heat transfer on this furnace.
Insert the handle end (with hole) of the cleaning tool
onto the cleaning rod (refer to gure 15). The cleaner
rod is located in the grill above the stove door. Move the
cleaner rod back and forth several times to clean the
heat exchanger tubes. Be sure to leave tube cleaner at
the rear of the stove.
b. Interior Chambers – Four ash doors and two upper bafes
in the rebox in your model can be removed for periodic
cleaning (Figure 19). These doors allow access to the
chamber surrounding the rebox.
NOTE: When removing the upper bafes do not remove the
screws; just loosen them enough to allow the bafes to be
removed.
Periodically, you must vacuum ashes from this chamber. In
some cases you will need to remove creosote, which can
accumulate rapidly under certain conditions. A small wire
brush can be used. It is important to remove this creosote
because it is highly combustible. INSPECT BEHIND THESE
CLEANING PLATES AT LEAST ONCE PER TON OF PELLETS BURNED
UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW ASHES AND CREOSOTE
ACCUMULATE WITH YOUR OPERATING PRACTICES. Use the
small wire brush to also clean the inside of the chamber walls,
above the access doors.
BLOWERS
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCONNECT POWER
BEFORE SERVICING UNIT.
Cleaning – Over a period of time, ashes or dust may collect
on the blades of both the combustion blower and convection
blower. Periodically the blowers should be vacuumed clean
as these ashes can impede performance. Creosote can
also accumulate in the combustion blower. This needs to
be brushed clean. The convection blower is accessed by
removing the stove’s left side panel. The combustion blower
can be accessed by removing the stove’s right side panel.
The convection blower is on the left (facing stove), and the
combustion blower is on the right.
NOTE: When cleaning, be careful not to dislodge balancing
clip on convection blower or to bend fan blades. Some stove
owners lightly spray an anti-creosote chemical on the re to
help reduce creosote formation within the stove.
