DAILY MAINTENANCE
The cleaner your Fire is kept the more efficiently and cleaner burning it will operate.
The frequency of cleaning your Fire will depend on the particular installation, fuel quality, and usage of your Fire. You
will know your Fire needs cleaning either by inspection or by a decrease in performance. If soot forms on the glass
door it is an indication that the Burn Pot Liner needs to be cleaned (or more air is required during operation).
1. With the exception of the Burn Pot Liner, always clean the Fire when the Fire is cold. Carefully check that the Fire
and all ashes are cooled completely before commencing any cleaning. DO NOT Vacuum the Fire if any hot, partially
burnt pellet fuel or embers are present. DO NOT put any unburnt pellet fuel in the Ash Pan or a fire may occur in the
ash pan.
2. Parkwood recommends that you clean your Burn Pot Liner daily. Poor quality or high ash content fuel will increase
cleaning frequency (Refer to item 4 below).Open the Burn Pot Ash Slide and remove the Burn Pot Liner from the Fire
and clean it by tapping it on the Burn Pot. Allow the ash to fall directly into the Ash Pan. Clinker may be removed from
the Burn Pot Liner with a metal scraper or a wire brush. Occasionally it may be necessary to drill the holes in the Burn
Pot Liner back out to their original size using a 6mm drill.
3. Open the Burn Pot Ash Slide by pulling the black knob on the right side of the fire to empty the Burn Pot of ash. Do
not put unburnt pellets on top of the ash slide or the pellets will burn and distort the ash slide preventing it from sliding
freely. Do not put any unburnt pellets in the Ash Pan.
4. The
Parkwood Pellet Fire
has been designed so that the Burn Pot Liner can be cleaned while the fire is still
operating so that the pellets can be maintained at the recommended depth of 10-15mm.
Do not allow the pellets to exceed this depth. If you suspect you are using a poor quality fuel check the level
of pellets in the Burn Pot Liner on a regular basis.
As a guide, make sure the pellets do not get above the row of holes on the front and rear of the Burn Pot Liner. To
remove excess ash / clinker from the Burn Pot Liner:
Pull the Air Damper Rod (On the right side of the fire) fully out.
Open the Firebox Door and use a poker to dislodge / scrape the ash so that it falls through the holes in the
bottom of the Burn Pot Liner.
Close the Firebox Door and return the Air Damper Rod to the correct position.
Open the Ash Slide by pulling the knob on the left side of the fire fully out to allow the ash to drop into the ash
pan. Close the Ash Slide.
