and then again to turn the unit back on.
Remember:
use the Auger Feed button and
manually feed fuel into the pot for a couple of minutes until the program resumes.
b.
If the Ashby has been running for an extended period of time on the #5 setting, the
clinker will sometimes stick to the burn pot. If that happens, pull the coal rake back out.
Open the door and use a long screwdriver and give the clinker a couple nudges in the pot.
(Make sure the burnpot bottom is closed when you do this or you will lose the coals with
the clinker)
Then repeat the steps for dropping the clinker.
Remember: The coal rake must be pulled out and the slide bottom pushed in during normal
operation of the Ashby-MF.
Remember: The fire door and ash pan doors must be in the latched position during normal
operation of the Ashby-MF.
Periodic Maintenance
Periodic maintenance should only be done while the Insert is shut off and cold.
1.
Ashpan.
Empty the ash pan when it appears full (approximately once a week). The
frequency of cleaning the ash pan will depend on the quality and amount of fuel being used.
Carefully check to make sure the ash pan door is tightly closed after each opening.
2.
Burnpot and Slide-Out Bottom.
Clean the burn grate holes whenever needed. Remove the
Burnpot and use a small metal object (Nail, Drill Bit, etc) to clean out plugged holes. (
See
Figure 26 below)
Figure 26
To remove the Burnpot from the Insert the Coal Rake must be pulled back so the pot will clear it.
Open the Firebox door of the Multi-Fuel Insert and you will see a Hex head screw. Loosen the
screws enough to allow the Coal Rake to slide out of the burn pot. Remove the screw that holds
the burn pot in place and lift the pot out of the insert. To remove the Slide-out Bottom remove
the lower panel and open the firebox ash pan door. Slide the bottom out of the insert.
