Remember: Choosing a lower Pilot setting may require the Draft Fan Voltage or the Damper to be fine-tuned to match the lower feed rate. Monitor how the Ashby is operating after a change is made and adjust the damper or Combustion Fan voltage if needed. Ashby-P Insert... -
Page 39: Ashby-P Maintenance
Ashby-P Maintenance NOTE: WHEN YOU FIRST OPERATE YOUR ASHBY-P INSERT, CHECK TO DETERMINE THE NEEDED CLEANING FREQUENCY. THE ASHBY-P REQUIRES A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF DAILY MAINTENANCE. REQUIRED MAINTENANCE DEPENDS LARGELY UPON THE QUALITY OF FUEL BURNED AND THE RATE OF BURN. THE AMOUNT OF DAILY MAINTENANCE WILL INCREASE IF FUEL QUALITY DECREASES AND/OR THE BURNING RATE OF THE FUEL INCREASES. -

The Ashby-P Insert has 2 Exhaust Cleanout Ports located in the LEFT AND RIGHT lower corners of the firebox. Remove covers and clean regularly Figure 28 also shows the location of the Exhaust Tee clean-out rod. The insert has a built in cleanout to be able to vacuum the buildup that accumulates in the vent system from the front of the unit without having to pull the unit from the fireplace.
- Page 44 Clean the baffle on a regular basis. Frequency of cleaning depends on amount of fuel being burnt and the quality of the fuel. Fuel with low ash content is recommended. Failure to clean the baffle can cause the Ashby-P Insert to become plugged with fly ash.
