3.1.

CLEANING THE BURN POT AND THE AIR WASH INLET

The burn pot should be kept clean and its ports should not be clogged with combustion residues. Cleaning
the burn pot is simple. To do so, you may use a scraper, a brush or release the clip in front of the burn pot.
Then, remove the burn pot by lifting and pulling it out. Once the burn pot is removed you should clean
thoroughly inside the burn pot mount with an ash vacuum.
Once the burn pot is clean, vacuum the ashes that may have accumulated in the air wash inlet slot (A)
between the bottom glass retainer and the glass. This will allow an optimum air flow along the inside portion
of the glass and prevents the glass from sooting-up.
NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that the holes have not become plugged. If so, clean thoroughly.
HAZARDS. NEVER CLEAN WHEN HOT.
