Scraping the burn pot:
Whenever adding fuel to the hopper, take the time and scrape the grate surface of the burnpot, using the scraper tool provided. This can be done while a fire is burning. Wearing heat resistant gloves, open the firebox door. Scrape any accumulated ashes from in front of the fire, into the ash pan. Now, scrape under the fire, in a downward direction, to loosen any carbon deposits. Do not scrape the fire out of the pot. Whatever you loosen will be pushed out with the flow of new fuel into the pot. (Fig.33)
Removing Ashes:
After approximately 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 other- wise locally 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 the ash pan.
1.Lift the latch handle to open the ash door and remove the ash pan. Use ash pan handle to carry and dispose of ashes.
2.Slide the ash pan back into the stove and latch the door by pushing down on the latch handle when closed.
