  • Page 17 CLEANING AND MAINTENACE WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE STOVE WHILE RUNNING OR HOT! Establish a routine for the fuel, burner and firing technique. Check daily for creosote build-up until experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the less creosote is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather even though monthly cleaning may be enough in the coldest months.

    CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Inspect and clean the secondary burn plate, primary burn basket, primary burn tube and ashtray prior to igniting the stove. Experience will determine how often you need to clear the secondary burn plate and ashtray while the stove is in operation. Experience will determine how often the heat exchanger needs to be cleared of ash build up (DO NOT ATTEMPT WHILE THE STOVE IS IN OPERATION).

  • Page 20 HELPFUL HINTS FOR RUNNING YOUR STOVE  While operating the stove on low (damper holes open) the temperature gauge should never fall below 300 degrees. Two things happen when the stove falls below 300 degrees. 1) The draft will slow down enough to impede the performance of the stove. 2) Creosote will build up causing poor performance and increase the risk of a flue fire.
