LEANING
Proper care of your VULCAN “V” SERIES pellet appliance is required for peak, sustained performance. The need
for and frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of pellets burned, pellet quality, length of time since last
cleaning and the quality of the fire. While becoming acquainted with your new stove and the types of local pellets,
i
nspect your BURN GRATE, BURN POT, HEAT TUBES, ASH PIT, and WINDOW daily and clean until a
pattern of cleaning requirement is determined. As heating demands increase the need for stove and exhaust
system cleaning and ash removal will increase.
WARNING: Disconnect the electrical cord prior to opening the sides of your stove or opening the exhaust
system for any inspection, cleaning, maintenance or service work. NEVER perform any inspection,
cleaning, maintenance or service on a HOT STOVE or when the electrical cord is plugged in.
EVERY 2 –3 DAYS / WEEKLY
BURN GRATE
: (A)
[COLD STOVE ONLY] Clean as needed, scraping
off any residue that may stick to grate bottom or
sides.
BURN POT: (B)
[COLD STOVE ONLY] Remove the burn grate.
Clean out the burn pot. CAUTION: When replacing
the grate make sure it fits properly in the burn pot
with the lip on the burn grate, toward the front of
your stove.
HEAT TUBES:
[COLD STOVE ONLY} With your stove's main door closed pull the HEAT TUBE
SCRAPER ROD forward and backwards a few times. As different types of pellets produce different amounts
of ash, cleaning the tubes enables the heat exchange to operate efficiently.
CAUTION: On a burning stove the heat tube scraper rod will be hot.
ASH CATCHER
NOTE: Place the ash in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Place container on a non-combustible
surface well away from all combustible materials. Retain all ash material in container until all cinders have
been thoroughly cooled.
WINDOW CLEANING:
[COLD STOVE ONLY as hot glass may cause serious burns] To enjoy a
clear view of the fire you should clean your window as needed with a soft cloth or paper towel. You may use
a glass cleaner to remove heavy build up on the window.
HOME TIP: Dampen a piece of newsprint with
water, dip this into the fly ash, then rub down the glass. This works like a charm. Do not use abrasive
chemical cleaners.
DO NOT OPERATE STOVE WITH BROKEN GLASS AS LEAKAGE OF FLUE GASES
MAY RESULT.
