MAINTENANCE 

FAILURE  TO  CLEAN  AND  MAINTAIN  THIS  UNIT  AS  INDICATED  CAN 

RESULT  IN  POOR  PERFORMANCE  AND  SAFETY  HAZARDS.  NEVER 

CLEAN WHEN HOT.
NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not become 

plugged, if so, clean thoroughly.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed 

container or ashes should be placed on a noncombustible surface or on the 

ground,  well  away  from  all  combustible  materials  pending  final  disposal. 

If ashes are disposed of by soil burial or otherwise locally dispersed, they 

should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly 

cooled.

Remove ashes periodically as they fill the firebox. To remove ashes:
a.  Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.

b.  Clean heat exchanger tubes (see 

“CLEANING” and Figure 25).

c.  Remove the burnpots inner section by grasping it and pulling straight up 

(see Figure 26).

d.  Empty ashes from the inner section and scrape with cleaning tool; make 

sure holes are not plugged.

e.  Vacuum to remove ashes from the burn chamber interior and the burnpot 

shell.

 

before using a vacuum. See

f.  Dispose of ashes properly. (See 

 above)

a.  Replace inner section into burnpot; make sure it is level and pushed all 

the way back down and that the igniter hole is to the rear when it is rein-

stalled (see Figure 26).

b.  Make sure the burnpot is level and pushed all the way in, if the collar on 

the burnpot attached to the fresh air tube is not pushed back to meet the 

firebox wall, the Hot Rod will not work properly.

If a vacuum is used to clean your unit, we suggest using a vacuum designed 

for  ashes.  (We  recommend  LoveLess Ash  Vac,  1-800-568-3949  Ext.  #27) 

Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room. Your vacuum 

or shop vac may have a special filter or bag available to eliminate this leakage.

a. 

Heat Exchange Tubes – Your stove is designed with a built-in heat ex-

change tube cleaner. This should be used every two or three days to re-

move accumulated ash on the tubes, which reduces heat transfer on this 

unit. Insert the handle end (with hole) of the cleaning tool onto the clean-

ing rod (refer to figure 25). 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 baffles, in the firebox 

of this unit, can be removed for periodic cleaning (Figure 27). These doors 

allow access to the chamber surrounding the firebox.

NOTE:  When  removing  the  upper  baffles  do  not  remove  the  screws;  just 

loosen them enough to allow the baffles 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 cre-

osote because it is highly combustible. INSPECT BEHIND THESE CLEAN-

ING  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.
