Remove the surround panels
(see page 11). Disconnect
the vent and pull the insert
forward to gain better access.
Clean the Vent (make sure the heater and vent is cool)
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. Remove the
cover and vacuum out. While open, use a
flashlight to look up the pellet 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.
