ASH DISPOSAL
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled. Do not
place other waste in the same container.
CHECK AND CLEAN THE HOPPER
Check the hopper periodically to determine if there is any sawdust or pellets that are sticking to the hopper surface. Clean as needed.
DOOR AND GLASS GASKETS
Inspect the door’s and ash pan’s gaskets periodically. These may need to be removed to have frayed, broken, or compacted gaskets
replaced. Keep door, glass, and ash pan seals in good condition.
BLOWER MOTORS
Clean the air holes on the motors of both the exhaust and distribution blowers annually. Remove the exhaust blower from the
exhaust duct and clean out the internal fan blades as part of your fall start-up.
PAINTED SURFACES
Painted surfaces may be wiped down with a damp cloth. If scratches appear, or you wish to renew your paint, contact your
Authorized Eco-Aire
Dealer to obtain a can of suitable high-temperature paint.
GLASS
Cleaning - 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 the glass. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT perform the cleaning while the glass is HOT. ,
In the event you need to replace the glass, follow these instructions. Wear leather gloves or any other gloves suitable for handling
broken glass. Dispose of all broken glass properly. Use ONLY high temperature ceramic glass of the correct size and thickness. DO
NOT substitute alternative materials for the glass. Contact your authorized dealer to obtain this glass. For the glass in the front door,
bend the two tabs up and remove any broken or frayed glass. Replace the glass and bend the tabs back down. For the Fire Door Glass,
remove the retainers and any broken glass or silicone residue from the sealing face of the door. Before replacing the glass, apply a
small bead (about 1/8” wide) of High Temperature Silicone around the inside face of where the glass will sit, approximately 1/4” from
the edge of the opening on the sheetmetal door. Insert the new glass, allowing it to press the silicone flat. Re-install the retainers to
hold the glass. Be careful not to overtighten the screws for this could damage the glass.
DO NOT abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed, cracked
or broken.
FALL START UP
Prior to starting the first fire of the heating season, check the outside area around the exhaust and air intake systems for obstructions
including leaves, bushes/shrubs, and/or trees. Clean and remove any fly ash from the exhaust venting system. Clean any screens on
the exhaust system and on the outside air intake pipe. Turn all of the controls on and make sure that they are working properly. This
is also a good time to give the entire heater a good cleaning throughout.
SPRING SHUTDOWN
After the last burn in the spring, remove any remaining pellets from the hopper and the auger feed system. Scoop out the pellets
and then run the auger until the hopper is empty and pellets stop flowing. Vacuum out the hopper. Thoroughly clean the burn pot,
and firebox. The exhaust system should be thoroughly cleaned. If removing the unit for storage, store the heater in a dry location.
YEARLY SERVICING
A yearly servicing and cleaning by your Authorized Eco-Aire Dealer is recommended. A fee may be charged for this service.
Maintenance
Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance! NOTE: Switching the appliance to ”OFF” does not disconnect
all power to the electrical components of the heater.
Never try to repair or replace any part of the heater unless instructions for doing so are given in this manual or supplied from
the factory. All other work should be done by a trained technician.
