The carbon must be chipped out of the burn pot and
elbow using the provided chipping tool or blade screw
driver. Wear protective eye ware - the carbon chips
are very hard. The carbon at the bottom of the elbow
will be worn smooth by the flow of the pellets.
However, the gradual restriction in this area will cause
increasing back pressure on the auger feed. This
portion of the stove is very heavy duty. You do not
have to worry about damaging the burn pot or elbow.
However, do not use a grinder, drill, hammer, or
anything other than the provided chipping tool or a
blade screw driver.
Vacuum out all of the residue and pellets remaining in
the bottom of the burn pot. Vacuum out any pellets
remaining in the auger at the bottom of the hopper.
Before putting any pellets in the hopper or burn pot,
run the controller through the Start Fire procedure
and allow the auger to run for a few minutes without
fuel. This will ensure that the auger and auger tube
are sufficiently cleared of residue. Vacuum out the
burn pot again if necessary.
There should be minimal resistance on the auger
motor. You should see the front end of the auger
turning. The auger and elbow at the bottom of the
burn pot should be clean.
NEVER TURN OFF THE STOVE BY PULLING THE
POWER CORD. Ideally, you should just let the stove
run out of pellets. This will help to prevent a creosote
