Clean the blower blades, blower housing, and exhaust box. You may wish to

use a vacuum to pull ash out of the vent system. When replacing the motor,

take care to align the gasket (if it is damaged, replace). Check the nipple and

flow switch tube. Insert a pipe cleaner through the nipple to dislodge any

flyash. NOTE: The flow switch will shut off the auger if the tube becomes

Clean the Vent

Check the vent sections for creosote

accumulation (indicating a poorly burning

stove). Accumulation over 1/4” must be

removed.

On vertically vented systems, the dirtiest portion

is often the point where the vent turns upwards

(i.e. the "Tee"). Fortunately, the "Tee" has a built-

in clean-out cover. Place a container under the

“Tee”, disconnect the cover and remove all flyash.

While open, use a flashlight to look up the vent to

check for build-up.

Make sure the cap is free of debris

(especially if it has a screen that could

become blocked).

Flyash will deposit along

sections that are horizontal.

Warning: Whenever any portion of the pellet vent is disconnected, the joints must be sealed with

RTV 500° F. silicone sealant.
