PELLET FUEL QUALITY
Only premium quality 6mm wood pellets should be burnt in this Fire. Pellet fuel quality is a major factor in how well your
Fire performs. Pellets will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and batch-to-batch from the same manufacturer;
this may significantly affect the heat out put and reliability of the Fire. To compensate for this you may have to clean
your Burn Pot Liner more regularly and have your Air Damper Rod set to provide more or less air than usual. Parkwood
Pellet Fires recommends that pellet fuel is purchased in 1 ton quantities to reduce any inconvenience caused by
different quality batches of pellet fuel.
When using new or different fuel, keep an eye on the level of the pellets in the Burn Pot Liner, make sure there is an
even burn across the bottom of the Burn Pot Liner about 10-15mm deep and ensure that the pellets are not "filling up"
in the Burn Pot Liner. Adjust the Air Damper Rod and heat switches accordingly until you have the desired flame and
heat output.
The holes in the Burn Pot Liner must be kept clean; Parkwood Pellet Fires recommends that the Burn Pot Liner be
cleaned daily. From time to time it will be necessary to clean the Burn Pot Liner with a wire brush or scraper to allow
sufficient combustion air to easily pass through the holes in the Burn Pot Liner. The holes may also need to be drilled
out to return them to their original size.
The
Parkwood Pellet Fire
has been designed so that the Burn Pot Liner can be cleaned while the fire is still operating
so that the pellets can be maintained at the recommended depth of 10-15mm.
Do not allow the pellets to exceed this depth. If you suspect you are using a poor quality fuel check the level
of pellets in the Burn Pot Liner on a regular basis.
As a guide, make sure the pellets do not get above the row of holes on the front and rear of the Burn Pot Liner. To
remove excess ash / clinker from the Burn Pot Liner:
Pull the Air Damper Rod (On the right side of the fire) fully out.
Open the Firebox Door and use a poker to dislodge / scrape the ash so that it falls through the holes in the
bottom of the Burn Pot Liner.
Close the Firebox Door and return the Air Damper Rod to the correct position.
Open the Ash Slide by pulling the knob on the left side of the fire fully out to allow the ash to drop into the ash
pan. Close the Ash Slide.
