• Clean fans and motors at least every six months (possibly more often if pets dwell near the pellet stove) A vaccum or canned air can be used for general cleansing while a dry tooth brush can be used to dislodge the debris.
• Use the right pellet fuel. Avoid using an inferior grade pellet fuel and avoid exposure to moisture by storing your fuel in a dry, covered area. Also note that Pellet Stove Owners who purchase one or more tons of pellet fuel, can have their excess fuel stored at Alaska Hearth Products for free.
• Replacement of worn gaskets. Inevitably, door gaskets will receive normal wear and tear and will ultimately need replacing. A good way to guage this is by inserting a piece of paper in between the door and frame. If it slides out easily with a light tug, then it's time to have them replaced. You can contact a service representative from Alaska Hearth Products to come out and replace them.
• Schedule an annual or semi-annual stove & chimney servicing during summer months, so that you'll be ready when the cold season arrives. You can schedule a servicing by contacting a helpful representative at Alaska Hearth Products.
• There is a special glass cleaner used for cleaning wood, gas, pellet and oil stoves to make the cleaning easier. Please do not mistaken this as Windex or other ammonia window cleaners. Call Alaska Hearth Products to find out which glass cleaner is best for your particular stove.
