removing Ashes:
The chimney or venting system must be inspected
regularly during the heating season to determine if a
creosote build-up has occurred. If a significant layer of
creosote has accumulated (3mm or more), it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
CrEOSOTE
If you have been burning corn, the stove will need to
be cleaned approximately once a month. The amount
of corn burned and the frequency of these cleanings will
vary depending on the quality of the corn used.
If you have been burning pellets, the stove will need
to be cleaned approximately every 2 to 3 months. The
amount of pellets burned and the frequency of these
cleanings will vary depending on the quality of the
pellets used.
1. Shut down the stove and
disconnect the power
cord
to insure that all motors are stopped.
2. Clean the heat exchanger with the scraper as shown
in Fig. 30.
3. Brush or scrape the inside walls of the stove to
remove fly ash.
4. Remove the burn pot for cleaning by:
• Lift up and remove the front plate lock & front plate.
• Remove the auger extension (if installed).
• Remove the burnpot grate.
• Clean all fines and debris.
• Reinstall in reverse order.
NOTE: See burnpot maintenance section for a more
detailed description on burnpot maintenance and
cleaning.
Cleaning:
The frequency of which you will need to empty the ash
pan will vary depending on the conditions that the stove
has been operating in. For example: A stove burning
corn on high continuously will probably need the ashes
removed every 1 to 2 days, whereas a stove burning
corn on low or cycling off periodically may be able to
go 3 to 8 days or longer. With pellets, after about 1 ton.
It is recommended that the stove is cold and shut down
when removing the ash pan.
1. Pull up on the latch handle to swing the ash pan
access door out and to the right.
2. Use the ash pan handle to carry and dispose of
ashes.
3. Slide the ash pan back into the stove.
4. Close and latch the ash pan access door.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with
a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or
on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
