ASH REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL
IMPORTANT: While the amount of ash generated by this unit is not excessive compared to
log-burning woodstoves, keeping the unit clean and free of ash is essential for
peak performance. Too much ash build-up hampers airflow and reduces the
unit’s efficiency, and can cause smoke-back. Follow these directions at least
as frequently as the schedule below, or more often if needed.
Daily Ash Maintenance
Press the “OFF” touch pad and allow the stove to burn for five (5) minutes prior to opening the
door. A long-handled screwdriver or long-handled putty knife can be used to scrape off any build-up
or crust in the burn pot area. This can then be pushed to the left or right into the ash storage area.
Semi-Weekly Ash Removal
Twice each week: Shut the unit down by
pressing the “OFF” pad and allowing the unit to go
through the complete Shut-Down cycle. Allow the
unit to completely cool down and then remove the
ashes with a scoop. The ashes should be placed in a
non-combustible container with an airtight lid and
should always be placed on a non-combustible
surface or on the ground until completely cooled and
free of hot cinders.
Once the ash is removed, the burn pot should be
given a thorough inspection. Remove and clean the
burn pot wear plate (refer to the exploded diagram in
the rear of this manual –
Illustration 6
, and the close-
up diagram shown here),
and
remove any ash build-
up in the area below the wear plate. Also, be sure
there are no ashes or obstructions in the tube under
the wear plate. Check for any build-up in the front of the burn area. Clean out all air holes (if
necessary a 1/8” drill bit can be used) --these air holes should be kept clean, as they supply
combustion air under and around the pellet fuel. The burn pot assembly should also be thoroughly
cleaned, including the feed auger and feed tube. When replacing the wear plate, ensure that it lies
flat in the firebox and no gaps (from ash residue) are under it.
IMPORTANT: Ash build-up under the wear plate can cause the unit to malfunction.
NOTE:
The instructions below concerning the cleaning of the burn pot and wear plate area are
especially important
to the function of your stove. Failure to follow them regularly can result in
burn-back and can damage your unit and/or void your warranty.

Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ahses should
be placed on a noncombustible 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.
As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF” and has completed the Shut-
Down cycle
BEFORE
beginning. Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain
HOT
long after
the fire has gone out and
EVEN
after the Shut-Down cycle is complete. Always use extreme caution
when handling potentially hot stove parts, even if you think they should be cold.
