Types of Fuel

The type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you

have to clean your firepot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content, it

may be necessary to clean the firepot more than once a day.
Poor quality fuel will cause clinkers to form in the firepot. A

clinker is formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance

is heated to 2000°F (1093°C) and becomes glass-like. See

section D following for more details on fuels with high ash

content.

Shock and Smoke Hazard

• Turn dial control to OFF, let appliance complete

ly cool and exhaust blower must be off. Now

you can unplug appliance before servicing.

• Smoke spillage into room can occur if appliance

is not cool before unplugging.

• Risk of shock if appliance not unplugged before

servicing appliance.
