Whenever wood is burned, there is a potential for
creosote formation. The venting system should be
inspected periodically during the heating season to
determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If a
significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3 mm
or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney or venting system fire.

Scraping the burn pot:
Whenever adding fuel to the hopper, take the time
and scrape the grate surface of the burnpot, using the
scraper tool provided. This can be done while a fire is
burning. Wearing heat resistant gloves, open the firebox
door. Scrape any accumulated ashes from in front of the
fire, into the ash pan. Now, scrape under the fire, in a
downward direction, to loosen any carbon deposits. Do
not scrape the fire out of the pot. Whatever you loosen
will be pushed out with the flow of new fuel into the pot.
(Fig.)
removing ashes:
After approximately 1 ton of pellets has been burned,
it will be necessary to empty the ash pan.
ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on
the ground, well away from all combustible materi-
als, pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of
by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
It is recommended that the stove is cold and shut
down when removing ash pan.

pan handle to carry and dispose of ashes.
