High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance - Quadra-Fire MTVERNINSAE-MBK Owner's Manual Operation & Care

D. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
• Frequency: When the ash build-up exceeds the half
way point in the firepot
• By: Homeowner
If the ash build-up exceeds the half way point in the firepot
before it automatically cleans, then the firepot is not being
cleaned often enough.
Another symptom is if clinkers are adhering to the sides of
the firepot.
Double check the wall control to ensure the proper setting has
been selected for the fuel you are burning. If that is correct,
change the setting to "Utility Pellet".
NOTE: You will need to empty the ash pan more fre-
quently if using the "Utility Pellet" setting.
WARNING! Risk of Fire and Smoke!
• High ash fuels or lack of maintenance can cause firepot to
overfill. Follow proper shutdown procedure if ash buildup
exceeds half way point in firepot.
• Failure to do so could result in smoking, sooting and pos-
sible hopper fires.
