Comments

Unusually, the fan motors on this stove have oiling points and this is part of the regular maintenance schedule.

This stove is sensitive to pellet quality and can not handle pellets with a high ash content.

The air draft for combustion must be adjusted manually.

The auger motor, burn pot and igniter are not covered by the warranty.

Maintenance

Weekly

Clean the heat exchanger tubes, lift top heat shield and dump ashes into burn chamber, remove and clean the burn pot, empty the ash. Clean the glass and inspect the condition of the door gasket.

Yearly

Clean the venting system, clean behind the rear heat shield and the exhaust passages in the stove. Clean the combustion fan and housing. Oil the circulation fan motor.
