C. General Maintenance Procedures
1. Burn Pot Grate Cleaning

Wear Leather Gloves To Prevent Skin Burns!
This procedure can be done with a fire burning. It is
recommended that you turn the temperature dial down
approximately one half hour before to allow some cooling
of the fire.
Open the front door by lifting upward on the latch handle,
then swing the door open. Using the scraper tool provided
with your appliance, scrape any cool or spent ashes from in
front of the fire off the front of the grate to the ash pan. Next,
scrape downward into the burn pot, under the burning fuel
to remove any carbon deposits. Pay particular attention to
the corners on each side of the auger, as this is generally
the first place to see accumulation. You do not want to
scrape the fire out of the pot, you just want to clean the
holed surface underneath the fire. Any loosened material
will be pushed off of the grate into the ash pan as burning
resumes. Close the door when finished, and return your
temperature dial to the desired setting.
With the fire out and burn pot cold, use the supplied allen
wrench to remove any build-up that may have accumulated
in the holes of the burn pot grate. Simply push the allen
wrench down through each hole ensuring it is clear of any
build-up paying attention not to damage the igniter element
in the process.
* Depending on fuel quality and the quantity of fuel
consumed, the interval between scraping will vary. If you
see orange and lazy flames, it is a good indicator of the
need for scraping.
4. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency:
As needed
• By:
User
Ashes must be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be
placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final
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 thoroughly
cooled. Do not use the ash container for other debris
or yard waste.
