This procedure can be done with a fire burning. It is
recommended that you turn the temperature dial down
approximately one half hour before to allow some
cooling of the fire.
Open the front door by lifting upward on the latch
handle, then swing the door open. Using the scraper
tool provided with your appliance, scrape any cool or
spent ashes from in front of the fire off the front of
the grate to the ash pan. Next, scrape downward
into the burn pot, under the burning fuel
to remove any carbon deposits. Pay
particular attention to the corners on
each side of the auger, as this is
generally the first place to see
accumulation. You do not
want to scrape the fire out
of the pot, you ust want to
clean the holed surface
underneath the fire. Any
loosened material will be
pushed off of the grate
into the ash pan as
burning resumes. Close
the door when finished,
and return your temperature dial to the desired setting.
epending on fuel quality and the quantity of fuel
consumed, the interval between scraping will vary. If
you see orange and lazy flames, it is a good indicator
of the need for scraping.
