TO HANDLE BEFORE ROUTINE CLEANING IS PERFORMED.

Burn Grate: The burn grate should be inspected periodically to assure that the
air holes have not become clogged with ash or clinkers. The burn grate can eas­
ily be cleaned with the grate scraper/ash pan tool, or it can be removed for
very
cleaning. It is
as excessive amounts of ash will block combustion air from entering the grate,
causing pellets to pile-up in the grate. The ash build-up under the grate is easily
dumped into the ash pan by pulling out the ash slide weekly as shown below in
(Figures C & D). The grate cleaning procedure is the same for all models.
Freestand Ash Pan: The ash pan will have to be emptied periodically, depending
on amount of fuel consumed. The ash pan is located in the pedestal on the pro­
file 20 & 30 as in fig.B. It can be removed by turning the T-Bar latch fully counter­
clockwise. The Traditions ash pan is pulled straight out using the black pull knob
located on the front of the ash pan (fig. A).
sure to fully close the plates when finished. Failure to close the ash release slide plates
completely may cause the fuel to burn poorly (due to reduced air flow through the
grate), which may then cause pellets to "pile up" in the grate. Important: The Profile

They should be emptied whenever necessary. The ash pans can be removed by
inserting the grate scraper tool into the slot on the ashpan and lifting up (for the
sides) or pulling out (for the center ashpan). Be sure to dump ashes into a non­
combustible container. All ash removal and cleaning should be done while
is cold.

Creosote removal: When wood is burned
slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapors, which combine with expelled mois­
ture to form creosote. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue
of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should
be inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to determine if a
creosote buildup has occurred.
If creosote has accumulated it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Ash Slide Plate: Ash that accumulates around
the grate can be "dropped" into the ash pan
without opening the firebox door. Simply pull
open the ash release slide plate as shown in
photo using the grate scraper tool provided.
Remove the ash pan as shown.
