Cleaning & Maintenance
INSTRUCTIONS
BURN POT AND LINER (2-3 days)
Cleaning of the burn pot and liner must only be done when stove is cold. To remove the burn pot and Burn pot liner, open the door using the door handle provided (located on the right–hand side of the stove) Swing the door open. Lift the liner from the burn pot. Lift the burn pot from the firebox by gently lifting up the front of the burn pot, then sliding the assembly from the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge.
This is the pot where the pellets are burned. Every two (2) to three (3) days (when the unit is cold), remove the burn-pot liner from the stove and inspect it to ensure proper air flow through the liner. Failure to keep the liner clean may cause a build up of fuel past the burn pot liner and up the drop tube. This will cause the auger to jam and may result in pellets burning in the drop tube and hopper. Using a metal scrapper, remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the burn-pot back liner holes. Then dispose of the scrapped ashes from the liner and from inside the burn-pot. Place the burn-pot back into the stove, making sure that the pipes are properly inserted into the burn pot. Place the liner back into the burn-pot, making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the ignitor tube. Pushing the liner up against the ignitor tube.
If after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this is an indication that the pellet fuel quality is poor or the stove may need cleaning. Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the slider / damper to produce the proper clean combustion.
DOOR GLASS CLEANING (2-3days)
Cleaning of the glass must only be done when the 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 fly 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.
DOOR LATCH (2-3 DAYS)
Check the door latch every time the door is opened or closed to insure proper movement.
ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (weekly)
After extended use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the gasket on using high temperature fiberglass gasket glue available from your local ENVIRO dealer. This is important to maintain an airtight assembly.
ASH PAN (weekly)
The ash pan is located under the burner. Dump the ashes into a metal container stored away from combustibles. Monitor the ash level every week. Remember that different pellets fuels will have different ash content. Ash content is a good indication of fuel efficiency and quality.
Freestanding: To remove the ash pan, simply turn the knob and pull out towards the front. Insert: To remove the ash pan open the door, remove the burn pot liner and the burn pot, then pull the ash pan out.
DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.
HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES (weekly)
Open the door and the rod is located under the unit top, in the center of the stove just behind the door. This handle is to be pushed in and out a few times (only when the unit is cold) in order to clean away any fly ash that may have collected on the heat exchanger tubes. As different types of pellets produce different amounts of ash, cleaning of the tubes should be done on a regular basis to enable the unit to run efficiently.
FRESH AIR INTAKE (season)
Inspect periodically to be sure that it is not clogged with any foreign material.
EXHAUST VENT (season)
This vent should be cleaned every year or after two (2) tons of pellets. We recommend contacting your dealer for professional cleaning. To clean the vent pipe, tap lightly on the pipe to dislodge any loose ash. Open the bottom of the “T” to dump the ash, then vacuum as much of the ash out of the vent pipe as possible.
