NORMAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Due to differences in fuel, stove cleaning intervals will vary.
The cleaner the stove is, the more efficiently it will burn.
CLEANING THE FIREPOT
Remove and clean the burn pot/firepot daily. Make sure all holes
in the burn pot are unobstructed. Use a small metal pick or drill
bit to keep these holes clean. SEE FIGURE 30.
FIREPOT REMAINS
Every time the hopper is filled with fuel , the firepot should be
emptied. To empty the firepot, lift it out of the pot holder and
dump it directly into the ash pan. Be sure any build-up is removed
and that the holes are clean.
CLEANING THE GLASS
Only clean the class when the glass is cool. Wipe glass off
frequently. Wipe the glass clean with a dry or damp rag. If this
does not clean the glass, use any non-abrasive cleaner. Using
ceramic stove top cleaner can be helpful in removing soot from
the glass. Inspect gaskets around the door periodically. Replace
any worn, frayed or compacted gaskets. Replace broken glass only
with high temperature ceramic glass, available from Castle Pellet
Stoves. SEE FIGURE 31.
INTERIOR CHAMBER
Clean the interior chamber with an ash vacuum. Ash vacuums
are specially designed to contain soot and have a metal exterior.
ASH PAN
Dump the ash pan regularly. Ashes should be contained in a
metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a non combustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials. If ashes are
disposed of by burial or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been
cooled. SEE FIGURE 32.
