he by products of combustion contain small particles of fly ash. Fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system 

and restrict the flow of flue gases. Incomplete combustion, (such as during startup) shutdown or incorrect operation 
of the room heater will lead to some sort of soot formation which will collect in the exhaust system. Because of this 
it is important that the exhaust system be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to determine if cleaning 
is needed. It is a good practice to inspect after every 1–2 tons of pellet fuel burning. 

 

With proper cleaning and the use of quality pellets, your VULCAN F22 appliance requires very little 
maintenance.  However, the following periodic maintenance is strongly recommended. This should be 
preformed seasonally, bi-seasonally, or every 1-2 tons of fuel usage. 

 

WARNING:  Unplug your stove's electrical cord prior to opening the sides of the stove or opening the exhaust 
system for any inspection, cleaning, maintenance or service work.   

NEVER perform any inspections, cleaning, maintenance or service on a HOT STOVE. 

 

  [COLD STOVE ONLY] Remove the back plate from the firebox area.  This will expose the 

two ash traps and the fuel drop shute.  Fly ash may be removed by vacuuming inside the trap areas. It is also 
good to use a brush (bottle cleaner) to reach up and down to scrape the build up off  the metal areas. 

 Periodically remove and clean your grate. In particular it is advisable to clean out the 

holes to remove any build up that may prevent air from moving through grate freely. If grate has become 
plugged with hard residue from burning lower quality fuel, you may need to use a sharp awl or drill bit to 
open holes back to their original size. 

 

  This is the “pot” where the pellets are burned in the grate.  When removing your grate for 

cleaning, check the burn pot area for ash build up.  Some ash will fall through the grate holes and build up 
under the grate.  This needs to be cleaned out to prevent lack of air flow through the burn grate.   

  Inspect the main door gasket periodically.  The main door may be removed to 

have frayed, broken or compacted gaskets replaced by your Authorized VULCAN F22

 

Dealer. 

 

FAN MOTORS:  C

lean the in-take on CONVECTION (ROOM AIR) fan as well as the air holes on 

the motors of both COMBUSTION and CONVECTION fans annually.  Disassemble the COMBUSTION 
AIR FAN and clean out the internal fan blades as part of your fall start up. 

 

FRESH AIR INTAKE:

  Inspect periodically to be sure that it is not clogged with any foreign materials.  A 

plugged screen will restrict or shut off combustion air and cause a fire to die or burn poorly. 

 

 Use a damp cloth to clean your 

door. DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE CLEANERS AS YOU WILL REMOVE OR SCRATCH THE 
PLATING!   

 

:  

Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any sawdust or pellets that are sticking to  
the hopper surface. Clean as needed.

 

 

 We recommend using a high quality glass cleaner. Should a 

build up of creosote or carbon accumulate you may wish to use 000 steel wool and water to clean glass. 
Ceramic is very hard and will not scratch from the steel wool.  

 

 In the event you need replacement only Neo-Ceram of the correct size and 

thickness may be used. Contact your local

 

 

dealer to obtain this glass.
