Anleitung Zusammenfassung
It is important to remove this creosote since it is highly combustible. INSPECT BEHIND THESE COVER PLATES AT LEAST ONCE PER HALF TON OF PELLETS BURNED UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW ASHES AND CREOSOTE ACCUMULATE WITH YOUR OPERATING PRACTICES. NOTE: Cover plate screws need to be snug only. Hand tight Is normally sufficient. a Cleaning — Over a period of time, ashes or dust may collect on the blades of both the combustion blower and convection blower. Periodically the blowers should be vacuumed clean as these ashes can impede performance. Creosote can also accumulate in the combustion blower. This needs to be brushed clean. The convection blower is accessed by removing the stove’s left side panel. The combustion blower is accessed through door C (see figure 14). The convection blower Is on the left (facing stove), combustion blower on the right. NOTE: Be careful when cleaning not to dislodge balancing clip on convection blower, or bend fan blades. Some stove owners lightly spray an anti-creosote chemical on the fire to help reduce creosote formation within the stove. b. Oiling — Blower manufacturers suggest oiling annually. See figure 15 for lubrication points. Use SAE 20W motor oil. Limit to one or two drops. Figure 14 4L4 CHIMNEY CLEANING a Creosote Formation — When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a newly started fire or from a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote PAGE 11 residue accumulates on the flue lining. When Ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house. Despite their high efficiency, pellet stoves can accumulate creosote under certain conditions. b. Fly Ash — This accumulates in the horizontal portion of an exhaust run. Though noncombustible, it may impede the normal exhaust flow. It should therefore be periodically removed. c. Inspection and Removal — The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote or fly ash buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Inspect the system at the stove connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to buiid creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from the top as well as from the bottom. The creosote should be removed with a brush specifically designed for the type of chimney in use. A qualified chimney sweep can perform this service. It is also recommended that before each heating season the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned, and repaired if necessary. To clean the chimney, you can detach the vent at the combustion blower transition. Make sure you reattach and seal chimney connection. 4.5 RECQMWENPEP MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Use this as a guide under average use conditions.

Check for fuel in hopper. If stove runs out of fuel, pellets will not feed once hopper is reloaded until auger fills with pellets. This takes several full turns of the auger. Hold manual feed switch on for four minutes. 2. Push “auger" button. Green light should come on. 3. Check for auger jam. Push the manual feed switch. If you can hear the auger motor trying to run but no pellets fall into burn pot you may have a jammed auger. Contact your dealer. 4. If auger motor Is not working, and there is power to the system (green light is on) the auger thermodisk may be stuck in open position. Check the thermodisk with continuity tester. Auger thermodisk closes with heat rise. If problem persists, call dealer. 5. If vacuum in the stove is lost, an air switch shuts off the auger. Inspect for source of lost vacuum. Faulty door seal will cause this. 6. If a stove set at “HIGH” is suddenly switched to "LOW", a temporary overheat condition may occur. This condition may stop the auger and cause the green light to go off. Press the “OFF switch and the “HIGH FAN" switch. Allow stove to cool down and restart as instructed In sections 3.2 and 3.3. S.2 FIRE GOES OUT| (assuming auger is feeding and there is ample fuel in hopper and bum pot) 1. Check for blockage in combustion air inlet, bum pot and exhaust. 2. Large pellets feed more slowly. It is sometimes difficult to maintain a fire on low. If this problem recurs, call your dealer. 3. Check to see if combustion blower is operating. 4. Damper may be out too far.
