C. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance

•Frequency: As needed

•By: Homeowner

•Task:

Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create conditions that make the firepot fill quickly with ashes and clinkers. This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overfilling the firepot with pellets which may result in smok- ing, sooting and possible hopper fires. Figure 31.1 shows an example where the firepot overfills, pellets back up into the feed tube and ash has accumulated in the firebox. Figure

31.2illustrates an inefficient and non-economical method of burning of fuel caused by poor quality pellet fuel. Figure 31.3 is showing the correct flame size when good quality, premium pellet fuel is burned.

If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the firepot

IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.

Follow the detailed instructions found in this section for each step listed below.

•Shut down the unit by turning down the thermostat and allow unit to completely cool down. (Do not unplug the unit, it can cause smoke spillage in the room).

•Pull the heat exchanger cleaning rods. Section 10.7

•Empty the firepot. Section 10.2

•Clean the firebox. Section 10.4

•Empty the ash drawer. Section 10.3

•Dispose of the ashes. Section 10.6

•Restart the appliance with premium grade fuel.
