Burn Pot Cleaning and Maintenance

1.Scrape the top holed surface and sides of the burn pot. (Fig 39) It is not necessary to completely remove all loose material from the burn pot. The excess will be pushed out during the next use.

DANGER

Disconnect the power to the unit before removing cover.

2.Loosen the (2) wing thumb screws on the lower front angle of the burn pot. (Fig. 39)

3.Lift off the clean-out cover (Fig.40) to open the bottom clean-out chamber. (Fig.41)

4.Clean ash buildup from inside the chamber while cover is off. Use the scraper to tap on the top front edge of the burn pot. This will help knock pieces of ash, loosened by the scraping process, down through the holes. It also helps knock scale off of the igniter element.

The igniter is made to be removable for service by insulated male/female wire connectors. These connections between the hot leads (the wires inside the burn pot) and the cold leads (the wires from the control board) are always pulled to the rear of the feeder body.

(Not coiled inside the burn pot.)

It is very important that these connections are to the inside rear of the feeder body. Also, the extra wire of the igniter wire service loop must be pulled out through the rear of the feeder and tied up so that it will not be damaged by any moving parts.

Note: The hot lead/cold lead connection must always be pulled to the rear of the feeder body before operation.

Warning

Use caution when cleaning burn pot clean- out chamber. Do not damage the high temperature igniter wires.

Creosote Formation and the Need For Removal: Whenever wood is burned, there is a potential for creosote formation. The venting system should be inspected periodically during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3 mm or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney or venting system fire.
