!WARNING
The front edge of the hopper lid becomes very hot, do not touch the area below the handle.
Figure 38
!WARNING
This rod becomes very hot during operation. Wait till heater has cooled completely or you MUSt wear heat
resistant gloves when cleaning or handling this heater.
With the heater cool (or wearing heat resistant gloves), slide the heat exchange cleaner rod up and down several times to prevent the build up of ash on the heat exchange tubes.
Keep the viewing door closed so the fl y ash does not enter the room.
NOTE: More frequent cleaning may be required depending upon pellet quality.
MAKE SURE PELLETS ARE NOT PILING UP
If the pellets build up over the burn pot, turn the pellet feed switch to "OFF".
If the fl ames seem to be coming only from the sides, or are orange/black, turn the heater off and check for build up of pellets.
The most likely causes are:
1.Feed rate has been set to maximum for an extended period of time. Turn feed rate to optimum.
2.The door, glass, or ash pan is open or has an air leak.
3.The burn pot requires cleaning.
4.The exhaust system requires cleaning.
5. The heater requires adjustment. | Figure 39 |
6.Poor pellet quality
