burn Pot Cleaning and maintenance
1. Scrape the top holed surface and sides of the burn
pot. (Fig 38) It is not necessary to completely remove
all material from the burn pot. The excess will be pushed
out during the next use.
2. Loosen the (2) wing thumb screws on the lower front
angle of the burn pot. (Fig. 38)
3. Lift off the clean-out cover (Fig.39) to open the bottom
clean-out chamber. (Fig.40)
Disconnect the power to the unit before
removing cover.
4. Clean ash buildup from inside the chamber while
cover is off. Use the scraper to tap on the top front
edge of the burn pot. This will help knock pieces of ash,
loosened by the scraping process, down through the
holes. It also helps knock scale off of the igniter element.

The igniter is made to be removable for service
by insulated male/female wire connectors. These
connections between the hot leads (the wires inside the
burn pot) and the cold leads (the wires from the control
board) are always pulled to the rear of the feeder body.
(Not coiled inside the burn pot.)
It is very important that these connections are to the
inside rear of the feeder body. Also, the extra wire of
the igniter wire service loop must be pulled out through
the rear of the feeder and tied up so that it will not be
damaged by any moving parts. See page 27.
Use caution when cleaning burn pot clean-out
chamber. Do not damage the high temperature
Disconnect the power to the unit before
removing cover.
Note: The hot lead/cold lead connection must
always be pulled to the rear of the feeder body
before operation.
