BURNER POT AND LINER
(Checked Daily/Emptied Weekly)
This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned.
Only clean when the unit is cold.
Note: If, after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build
up of clinkers, this is an indication that the pellet fuel quality is poor or the stove may need cleaning. Check the
stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the slider / damper to produce the proper clean combustion.
1. Open the door using the door handle located on the right-hand side of the stove.
2. Lift the lever on burn pot to unlock the fire grate and remove it.
3. The agitator locks at the right; rotate the top of the agitator towards the back of the firebox to unlock it, slide
it to the left, and lift it out of the burn pot liner.
4. Lift the burn pot liner out of the stove.
5. Lift the burn pot from the firebox by gently lifting it up at the front of the burn pot, then slide it out from around
the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge.

scraped ashes from the liner and from inside the burn-pot.

of the burn pot that sit in a mount in the firebox. Ensure that the air

hole in the liner is aligned with the ignitor tube.

the front of the stove to lock it in.
