EDGE 60 Pellet Fireplace

C. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance

•Frequency: When the ash build-up exceeds the half way point in the fi repot

•By: Homeowner

If the ash build-up exceeds the half way point in the fi repot before it automatically cleans, then the fi repot is not being cleaned often enough.

Another symptom is if clinkers are adhering to the sides of the fi repot.

Double check the wall control to ensure the proper setting has been selected for the fuel you are burning. If that is cor- rect, change the setting to “Utility Pellet”.

NOTE: You will need to empty the ash pan more fre- quently if using the “Utility Pellet” setting.
