P61A Pellet Stove
Scraping the burn pot:
Whenever adding fuel to the hopper, take the time
and scrape the grate surface of the burnpot, using
the scraper tool provided. This can be done while a
fire is burning. Wearing heat resistant gloves, open
the firebox door. Scrape any accumulated ashes
from in front of the fire, into the ash pan. Now, scrape
under the fire, in a downward direction, to loosen any
carbon deposits. Do not scrape the fire out of the
pot. Whatever you loosen will be pushed out with
the flow of new fuel into the pot. (Fig.33)
Removing Ashes:
After approximately 1 ton of pellets has been
burned, it will be necessary to empty the ash pan.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all com-
bustible materials, pending final disposal. If
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or other-
wise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
It is recommended that the stove is cold and
shut down when removing the ash pan.
1. Lift the latch handle to open the ash door and
remove the ash pan. Use ash pan handle to carry
and dispose of ashes.
2. Slide the ash pan back into the stove and latch
the door by pushing down on the latch handle
when closed.
cleaning:
The stove should be shut-down and thoroughly
cleaned after each ton of pellets consumed. The
cleaner the stove, the more efficient it will be.
note:
Fuel with higher ash and/or moisture
content will require more frequent cleanings.
1. Shut down the stove and
disconnect power cord
to insure that all motors are stopped.
2. Clean heat exchanger with scraper as shown in
fig 27.
. Brush or scrape the inside of the stove to remove
fly ash.
4. Scrape burnpot with flat end of scraper provided
with the stove. Inspect the holes on the burnpot
surface. See Fig. .
5. Open burn pot clean-out. Clean fly ash from burn
pot and replace cover.
