5. Ash Removal System Inspection & Cleaning
• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 50 bags
• By: Homeowner
a. Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool.
b. Open the front cast door and cycle the ash removal
handle - these should be inspected for functionality
c. Inspect for any degradation or deformation.
• As the springs heat up and cool down they can
lose tension
• If there is a gap showing above the fire pot bottom,
approximately 1/16 inch (1.59mm) or more, it
means the springs have lost their tension
• Lost tension cannot keep the floor in the proper
position causing ignition problems and fuel falling
into the ash pan. If noted, call your dealer to
replace the springs.
