CB 1200 Pellet Stove

C. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance

•Frequency: As needed

•By: Homeowner

•Task:

Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create conditions that make the firepot fill quickly with ashes and clinkers. This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overfilling the firepot with pellets which may result in smok- ing, sooting and possible hopper fires. Figure 31.1 shows an example where the firepot overfills, pellets back up into the feed tube and ash has accumulated in the firebox. Figure

31.2illustrates an inefficient and non-economical method of burning of fuel caused by poor quality pellet fuel. Figure 31.3 is showing the correct flame size when good quality, premium pellet fuel is burned.

If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the firepot

IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.
