Cleaning The Burn Pot - Intertek 25-CAB80 Manual

Cleaning the Burn Pot

Along with removing ashes from the stove,
cleaning the burn pot is the other essential part
of daily maintenance that will keep the stove
operating at its peak. Pellets contain varying
amounts of impurities and fusible material that
will accumulate in the burn pot over time. Some
pellets will contain much higher amounts of
these fusible impurities, therefore extra vigilance
may be required to maintain a clean burn pot.
Allowing impurities to build up in the burn pot
can restrict the air flow to the fire, resulting in a
dirty, inefficient burn and can shorten the life of
the burn pot.
NOTE: The burn pot should actually be cleaned out before each start-up (before pressing the
ON button), and daily.
• Always allow the stove to finish the shut-down cycle and cool completely before performing
any maintenance inside the firebox.
• Open the front door to access the burn pot. WARNING – The burn pot can remain HOT long
after the fire has gone out, so wear protective gloves whenever handling a potentially hot burn
pot, if you remove it.
• Remove and clean the burn pot wear plate (refer to the exploded diagram in the rear of this
manual, and the diagram on the previous page).
• Remove any ash build-up in the area below the wear plate. Also, be sure there are no ashes or
obstructions in the intake tube under the wear plate. IMPORTANT: Ash build-up under the
wear plate can cause the unit to malfunction.
• Check for any build-up in the front of the burn area. Clean out all air holes in the wear plate (if
necessary, a 1/8" drill bit can be used) --these air holes should be kept clean, as they supply
combustion air under and around the pellet fuel.
• The burn pot assembly should also be thoroughly cleaned, including the burn box. When
replacing the wear plate, ensure that it lies flat in the firebox and no gaps (from ash residue)
are under it. Insert the burn pot back into the cradle if you have removed the entire burn pot,
and be sure to tighten the set screws, but do not over-tighten them.
