Removing Ashes:

When approximatly 1 ton of pellets has been burned it will be necessary to empty the ash pan.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all com- bustible materials, pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise lo- cally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

It is recommended that the stove is cold and shut down when removing ash pan.

1.Pull on latch handle and remove ash pan as shown at left. Use ash pan handle to carry and dispose of ashes.

2.Slide the ash pan back into the stove and latch by pushing in on latch handle.

Cleaning:

The stove will need to be cleaned for approxi- mately every 2 to 5 tons of pellets burned. The amount of pellets burned before cleaning will vary depending on the brand of pellets.

1.Shut down stove and disconnect power cord to insure that all motors are stopped.

2.Remove ash pan as described earlier.

3.Remove combustion blower cover by turning the blower cover latch vertical as shown in Fig.26 and sliding the cover out of the slot on the left.This will expose the combustion blower wheel and flue outlet, Fig.27.

4.Clean the blower wheel with a brush and a vacuum cleaner.

5.Use a brush to clean the flue, being careful not to damage the ESP probe. The flue goes straight through into the vent pipe (Fig.27) therefore, the vent pipe can also be cleaned to some extent through the flue outlet.

6.Reinstall blower cover and relatch.
