C.General Maintenance Procedures

1.Burn Pot Grate Cleaning

•Frequency: Daily to Weekly *

•By: User

Wear Leather Gloves To Prevent Skin Burns!

This procedure can be done with a fire burning. It is recommended that you turn the temperature dial down approximately one half hour before to allow some cooling of the fire.

Open the front door by lifting upward on the latch handle, then swing the door open. Using the scraper tool provided with your appliance, scrape any

cool or spent ashes from in front of the fire off the front of the grate to the ash pan. Next, scrape downward into the burn pot,

under the burning fuel to remove any carbon deposits. Pay particular attention to the corners on each side of the auger, as this is generally the first place to

see accumulation. You do not want to scrape the fire out of the pot, you just want to clean the holed surface underneath the fire. Any loosened mate- rial will be pushed off of the grate into the ash

pan as burning resumes. Close the door when fin- ished, and return your temperature dial to the desired setting.

*Depending on fuel quality and the quantity of fuel consumed, the interval between scraping will vary. If you see orange and lazy flames, it is a good indicator of the need for scraping.

4.Disposal of Ashes

•Frequency: As needed

•By: User

Ashes must 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 thoroughly cooled. Do not use the ash container for other debris or yard waste.
