Cleaning The Burn Pot - England's Stove Works Smartstove 25?SSP01 Installation & Operation Manual

 Because of the open design of the firebox, the majority of the ash will be on either side of the
cradle. Open the door of the stove and use an old paint brush or putty knife to move ash from
around the burn pot and into the open areas beside the cradle.
 Using the cleaning tool provided, remove any deposits left in the burn pot, being careful to
remove them from the burn pot and not allow them to filter down into the cradle area.
Excessive ash build‐up in the cradle can cause poor stove performance (See "Cleaning the Burn
pot," below).
WARNING: Use caution when using the cleaning tool, as it has a sharp point and may have
some sharp edges (as with any metal tool). As we recommend with any maintenance, use
gloves, safety glasses and any necessary safety apparel when handling the cleaning tool.
Cleaning the Burn Pot
Along with removing ashes from the stove, cleaning the burn pot is the other essential part of
daily maintenance that will keep the stove operating at its peak. Pellets contain varying amounts of
impurities and fusible material that will accumulate in the burn pot over time. Some pellets will
contain much higher amounts of these fusible impurities, therefore extra vigilance may be required to
maintain a clean burn pot. Allowing impurities to build up in the burn pot can restrict the air flow to
the fire, resulting in a dirty, inefficient burn and can shorten the life of the burn pot.
 Always allow the stove to finish the shut‐down cycle and cool completely before performing
any maintenance inside the firebox.
 Open the front door and remove the burn pot by lifting it straight up and out of the cradle.
WARNING – The burn pot can remain HOT long after the fire has gone out, so wear protective
gloves whenever handling a potentially hot burn pot.
 Once the burn pot is out of the stove, use the cleaning tool to remove any deposits from the
inside of the burn pot.
 Be certain all air holes are clear and unrestricted by fusible ash matter; the cleaning tool
provided is designed to fit these holes and will be useful in removing stubborn deposits from
these holes.
 Remove any ash material from the bottom of the cradle and brush any ash from the top of the
cradle into the sides of the firebox. Keeping the top of cradle free of ash is crucial in allowing
the burn pot to seat properly in the cradle.
 Insert the burn pot back into the cradle using the reverse of the procedure detailed above.
