Firepot Overfills
D. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
• Frequency:
When the ash build-up exceeds the half
way point in the fi repot
• By:
Homeowner
If the ash build-up exceeds the half way point in the fi repot
before it automatically cleans, then the fi repot is not being
cleaned often enough.
Another symptom is if clinkers are adhering to the sides of
the fi repot.
Double check the wall control to ensure the proper setting has
been selected for the fuel you are burning. If that is correct,
change the setting to “
Utility Pellet”.
NOTE: You will need to empty the ash pan more fre-
quently if using the “Utility Pellet” setting.
Risk of Fire and Smoke!
• High ash fuels or lack of maintenance can cause
fi repot to overfi ll. Follow proper shutdown procedure
if ash buildup exceeds half way point in fi repot.
• Failure to do so could result in smoking, sooting and pos-
sible hopper fi res.
