1. Check Grate Weldment and Shaker Plate (See figure 25) to determine if holes are plugged.
Clean as needed. With proper precautions the grate may be partially cleaned while the stove is
hot. Follow these steps:
a. Wear a leather glove that covers the lower arm.
b. Turn the Stove to Heat Level 1 and allow the flame to burn down to a low burn.
c. Open the firebox door slowly to prevent drawing ash or odors into the room.
d. Use the “Pot Scraper tool” provided to move the burning pellets to one side of the grate,
leaving the ash in the bottom of the grate. (See Figure 23)
e. Rake the ash & clinkers out over the grate into the ash pan.
f. Rake the burning pellets across the bottom of the grate.
g. Close the door and re-select the desired heat setting.

The “Grate Weldment” and the “Shaker Plate” may need to be removed for cleaning purposes
during the Daily or Periodic Maintenance if the holes become plugged. This allows a closer
inspection of the holes in the pot. Use a 3/16” drill bit to clean out the holes if needed.
