C. General Maintenance
1. Types of Fuel
Depending on the type of fuel you are burning will dictate how
often you have to clean your repot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content, it may
be necessary to clean the repot more than once a day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the repot. A clinker
is formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is
heated to 2000°F (1093°C) and becomes glass-like. See
“D” page 16 in this section for more details on fuels with
high ash content.

Burn Risk
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and cool
and the exhaust blower off. If you are just cleaning the
repot, there is no need to unplug the appliance.
b. Locate the repot cleaning rod on the right side of the
appliance. Figure 13.1. When you pull the cleaning rod
straight out it will slide open the repot oor to allow the
ashes to be deposited in the ash drawer. You will see
the light color painted area on the cleaning rod to let you
know the rod is in OPEN position. Figure 13.2.
c. Pull the repot cleaning rod OUT and IN a couple of times
to help shake debris loose. If the rod is hard to pull, it
may be necessary to use your repot clean-out tool to
chip away material that has built up on the bottom plate
of the repot and to push out any clinkers. while in the
open position. Larger clinkers may have to be removed
from the top of the repot.
d. To close the repot oor slightly raise the cleaning rod
and then push it back into place. If you have closed the
cleaning rod properly (pushed all the way in) you will not
see any of the light color painted area. Figure 13.2.
e. Always have the ash drawer in place before pulling
the repot cleaning rod, otherwise the ashes will fall
down and ll the outside air opening and the appliance
will produce soot out of the exhaust and will affect
efciency.
a. There must not be any hot ashes in the rebox during
cleaning so allow the appliance to completely cool. The
rebox ash should be removed every time the exhaust path
is cleaned. Frequent cleaning of the ash in the rebox will
help slow down the build-up of ash in the exhaust blower
and vent system.
b. Vacuum out the rebox thoroughly on both sides of the
rebox and the oor and ceiling. The ash drawer should be
emptied every time you clean the rebox. Remember to
place the ash and debris into a metal or non-combustible
container.See Disposal of Ashes.
c. Always have the ash drawer in place before pulling the
repot cleaning rod, otherwise the ashes will fall down and
ll the outside air opening and the appliance will produce
soot out of the exhaust and will affect efciency.
a. There must not be any hot ashes in the ash drawer when
you empty it, so allow the appliance to completely cool.
b. Locate the ash drawer underneath the repot. Slide the
ash drawer straight out. Empty into a non-combustible
container and re-install the ash drawer. See Disposal of
Ashes.
b. Always have the ash drawer in place before pulling the
repot cleaning rod, otherwise the ashes will fall down and
ll the outside air opening and the appliance will produce
soot out of the exhaust and will affect efciency.

6. Cleaning the Exhaust Path, Bafes & Drop Tube
• Frequency: Monthly or every 25 bags or more fre-
quently depending on ash build-up.
• By: Homeowner
a. Appliance must be completely cool.
b. Open the door and remove the center bafe rst and
then the right and left bafes. See Bafe Removal
Instructions on page 21. Thoroughly vacuum the
exhaust path and drop tube and continue throughout
the rest of the rebox. Also vacuum the front and
back of the bafes.
c. Also vacuum the convection blower impellers or use
a soft brush to remove any ash build-up.
c. Replace the right and left bafes and then the center
bafe and close and latch the door.
7. Cleaning the Hopper
• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 50 bags of fuel
• By: Homeowner
After burning approximately 50 bags of fuel you will
need to clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up.
A combination of sawdust and pellets on the bottom
end of the auger reduces the amount of fuel supply to
the repot. This can result in nuisance shutdowns and
mis-starts.
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown.
Allow the appliance to completely run out of pellets
and cool down.
b. Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.
c. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.
8. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal
in Exhaust Venting System.
• Frequency: Yearly or more frequently depending on
ash build-up.
• By: Qualied Service Technician/Homeowner
Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been unplugged
and the exhaust blower is off.
The products of combustion will contain small particles of y
ash. The y ash will collect in the exhaust venting system
and restrict the ow of the ue gases.
At start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there is a
shutdown or incorrect operation of the appliance it will lead
to some soot formation. This will collect in the exhaust vent-
ing system.
The venting (chimney) system may need to be cleaned at
least once a year or more often depending upon the qual-
ity of your fuel or if there are any horizontal pipe sections.
Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal sections and
elbows.

5. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight-tting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible oor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending nal
disposal.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly
cooled.
9. Door Handle Inspection

D. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
Figure 16.3
Figure 16.1
Figure 16.2
Fire Risk.
WARNING
• High ash fuels, or lack of maintenance, can
cause the firepot to overfill. Follow proper
shutdown procedure if ash buildup exceeds
half way point in firepot.
• Failure to do so could result in smoking,
sooting and possible hopper fires.
Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create
conditions that make the repot ll quickly with ashes and
clinkers.
This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overlling
the repot with pellets which may result in smoking, sooting
and possible hopper res. Figure 16.1 shows an example
where the repot overlls, pellets back up into the feed tube
and ash has accumulated in the rebox.
An inefcient and non-economical method of burning of fuel
caused by poor quality pellet fuel is shown in Figure 16.2.
The correct ame size when good quality, premium pellet
fuel is burned is shown in Figure 16.3.
If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the repot
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.

Odors and vapors released during initial operation.
• Curing of high temperature paint.
• Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
CAUTION
ISSUES SOLUTIONS
1. Metallic noise. 1. Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as
it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound pro-
duced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not
affect the operation or longevity of your appliance.
2. White ash buildup on glass. 2. This is normal. Clean the glass.
3. Glass has build-up of black soot. 3. Excessive build up of ash. See solution #4. The lower
burn settings will produce more ash, the higher burn
settings produce less. The more it burns on low the
more frequent cleaning of the glass is required.
4. Fire has tall ames with black tails and is lazy. 4. The feed rate needs to be reduced or the repot,
exhaust blower, exhaust path or bafes needs cleaning.
5. Smokey start-up or puffs of smoke from the airwash. 5. Either the repot is dirty or there is too much fuel at
start-up and not enough air. Close down feed rate 1/4
inch (6.35mm) at a time until this no longer happens.
6. Large ame at start-up. 6. This is normal. Flame will settle down once the re is
established.
7. Rumbling sound. 7. Make sure the ash drawer is completely closed. The
feed rate needs to be reduced or close the combustion
air damper 1/4 inch (6.35mm) at a time until the sound
stops.
