Maintenance

removing ashes:
Fuel quality and moisture content will dictate how often it will
be necessary to empty the ash pan.
disposal of ashes
Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be moved
outdoors immediately and placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, 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. Other waste shall not
be placed in this container.
It is recommended that the stove is cold and shut down for
removing the ash pan.
1. Open the front door of the stove and then open the ash
door by pulling downward on the ash lip. Remove the ash
pan (be sure to wear protective gloves if the stove is not
cooled down). See Fig. 33.
2. Slide the ash pan back into the stove, seating it against
the rear of the firebox. Lift the ash lip to close the ash door
and then close the front door of the stove.
cleaning:
The stove should be cleaned after burning approximately 1
ton of pellets (50 bags). The cleaner the stove, the more
efficient it will be. You will burn less pellets and heat output
will be greater.
Note: Higher ash content pellets will require more
frequent cleaning.
1. Shut down the stove and disconnect power cord to
insure that all motors are stopped.
2. Clean the heat exchanger with scraper as shown in fig 34.
3. Brush or scrape the inside of the stove to remove fly ash.
4. Scrape the burn pot with the flat end of the scraper
provided with the stove. Inspect the holes on the burn pot
surface. See Fig. 35.
5. Open the burn pot clean-out. Clean fly ash from the burn
pot and replace the cover. See Figures 39 and 40 on page
26.
6. Remove the ash pan and dispose of ashes in an approved
manner, according to local codes.
