MAKE SURE PELLETS ARE NOT PILING UP
With the appliance cool (or wearing heat resistant gloves),
slide the heat exchange cleaner rod up and down several
times to prevent the build up of ash on the heat exchange
tubes.
Keep the viewing door closed so the
fl
y ash does not enter the
room.
NOTE: More frequent cleaning may be required depending
upon pellet quality.
