6. Cleaning the Hopper
• Frequency:
Monthly or after burning 25 bags of fuel
• By:
Homeowner
After burning approximately 25 bags of fuel you will need to
clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up.
A combination of sawdust and pellets on the bottom end of
the auger reduces the amount of fuel supply to the firepot.
This can result in nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow
the appliance to completely run out of pellets and cool
down.
b. Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.
c. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube. To access the feed
tube remove the four screws from the auger cover
located inside of the hopper.
5. Cleaning the Glass
• Frequency:
When clear view of the firepot becomes
obscure
• By:
Homeowner
a. Appliance must be completely cool before
cleaning glass.
b. Vacuum fly ash from glass and door rope.
c. Use a damp paper towel or any non-abrasive glass
cleaner. Wipe off with dry towel.
4. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency:
As needed
• By:
Homeowner
Ashes should 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 been thoroughly cooled.
