Ashby-P Maintenance
NOTE: WHEN YOU FIRST OPERATE YOUR ASHBY-P INSERT, CHECK TO
DETERMINE THE NEEDED CLEANING FREQUENCY. THE ASHBY-P REQUIRES A
MINIMUM AMOUNT OF DAILY MAINTENANCE. REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
DEPENDS LARGELY UPON THE QUALITY OF FUEL BURNED AND THE RATE OF
BURN. THE AMOUNT OF DAILY MAINTENANCE WILL INCREASE IF FUEL
QUALITY DECREASES AND/OR THE BURNING RATE OF THE FUEL INCREASES.
NOTE: FAILURE TO KEEP YOUR INSERT CLEAN, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS
MANUAL, COULD RESULT IN POOR OPERATION, INEFFICIENT FUEL USAGE
AND A POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD! IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
OWNER/USER TO DETERMINE THE NEEDED MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY.
CAUTION: THE DOOR AND FRONT PART OF THE INSERT WILL BE HOT. DO
NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE UNIT THAT IS HOT!
