2.Cleaning Firepot with Cleaning Rod & Firepot Clean-Out Tool

•Frequency: Daily or more often as needed

•By: Homeowner

a.Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been unplugged and the exhaust blower is off. If you are just cleaning the firepot, there is no need to unplug the appliance.

b.Pull firepot cleaning rod OUT and IN a couple of times to help shake debris loose. If rod is hard to pull, it may be necessary to use your firepot clean-out tool to chip away material that has built up on the bottom plate of the firepot and to push out any clinkers. Larger clinkers may have to be removed from the top of the firepot. Corn clinkers can be especially difficult to break up.

c.The firepot floor plate must be fully closed when finished. See Figure 27.1 on page 27.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

•NEVER pull firepot cleaning rods or cleaning slide plates when appliance is operating.

•Hot pellets may fall into ashpan and may start a fire or have mis-starts due to lack of vacuum.

4.Cleaning Ash Pan

•Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags of fuel

•By: Homeowner

Locate the ash pan underneath the firepot and using a slight pull up and out remove the ash pan. Empty into

anon-combustible container and re-install ash pan.

See Disposal of Ashes.

5.Disposal of Ashes

•Frequency: As needed

•By: Homeowner

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.

3.Ash Removal from Firebox

•Frequency: Weekly or more frequently depending on ash build-up.

•By: Homeowner

a.There must not be any hot ashes in the firebox during cleaning so allow the appliance to completely cool. The firebox ash should be removed every time the firepot is cleaned. Frequent cleaning of the ash in the firebox will help slow down the build-up of ash in the exhaust blower and vent system.

b.Plug in your appliance, if unplugged, and turn the thermostat on and immediatley shut it off to start the exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will pull fly ash out the exhaust instead of into the room.

c.Open cast hinged face. Directly underneath the firebox door and to the left and right of the firepot are 2 cleaning slide plates with finger holes. Pull both slide plates out and then open the glass door. Sweep the remaining ash from the firebox into the 2 open holes. A paint brush works well for this. Close slide plates.

d.This ash is deposited in the same ash pan as the firepot debris. The ash pan should be emptied every time you clean the firebox. Remember to place the ash and debris into a metal or noncombustible container.

e.The 2 cleaning slide plates must be fully closed when cleaning is complete. See Disposal of Ashes.

WARNING

Disposal of Ashes

•Ashes should be placed in metal container with tight fitting lid.

•Ashes should be retained in closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

6.Cleaning the Hopper

•Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel

•By: Homeowner

After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel or changing fuels you will need to clean the hopper to prevent saw- dust build-up.

A combination of sawdust and pellets on the auger reduces the amount of fuel supply to the firepot. This can result in nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.

a.Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been unplugged and the exhaust blower is off.

bEmpty the hopper of any remaining pellets.

c.Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.
