CLEANING THE BURN POT.
Using a scraper and a wire brush, thoroughly
clean the surface of the burn pot. It is very
important to leave no residue on the surface of
the burn pot.
Note: The sand and dirt contained in the wood
pellets does not burn and solidifies to form a
stone on the surface of the burn pot. This stone
is commonly called (clinker) in the pellet stove
industry.
If the (clinker) is not removed the combustion air
holes are blocked or reduced and this will also
reduce the efficiency of the stove and increases
the formation of (clinker) until the combustion
becomes almost impossible.
Release the clips on both sides of the burn pot,
and then remove the burn pot by lifting it. Make
sure the burn pot is clean and that the holes are
not blocked. Once the burn pot is removed,
clean inside the burn pot receptacle with an ash
vacuum to remove accumulated ash.
If necessary, clean the air inlet pipe. To achieve this, you must open the access door of the
ash drawer and remove the ash drawer. Then, loosen the wing nut to open the hatch. Vacuum
combustion residues. (Check that the seal of the access door is in good condition, otherwise
replace it.)

detect leakage. All joints should be in good condition and sealed. Clean your stove following the
instructions in this manual. Contact your dealer if the problem persists.
