ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
*Inspect your stove or insert at minimum frequency stated until you establish a minimum frequency required for your installation (frequency will vary depending upon fuel BTU value / ash content, usage, and misc. installation variables).

UltraGrate (BURN GRATE) |
| |
The UltraGrate should be inspected periodically to as- |
| |
sure that the air holes have not become clogged with ash |
| |
or clinkers. The UltraGrate can easily be cleaned with |
| |
the grate scraper / ash pan tool, or it can be removed for |
| |
cleaning. It is very important to monitor the ash build up |
| |
under the UltraGrate, as excessive amounts of ash will |
