Ashby-MF Insert
40
Check the Multi-Fuel Insert frequently at first to establish a Schedule for cleaning the
burnpot. If Clinker/Ash is not removed, the burnpot will overload and fuel will spill into
the Ashpan.
Figure 22
How to schedule dropping the Clinker:
1.
Continuous burning of the Multi-Fuel Insert on the Low burn setting (#1 Heat Level).
Approximately every 40 hours.
This may vary depending on the quality of Corn, Wheat, Rye,
Cherry Pits or Distiller’s Grain used.
2.
Continuous burning of the Multi-Fuel Insert at the High burn setting (#5 Heat Level).
Approximately every 18 hours
. This may vary depending on the quality of Corn, Wheat, Rye,
Cherry Pits or Distiller’s Grain used.
The daily maintenance will mainly focus on 4 areas in the Ashby-MF:
a.
Removing the clinkers from the ash pan (if needed),
b.
Dropping the clinker from the burnpot,
c.
Cleaning the heat exchange tubes.
d.
Cleaning the glass.
Figure 22 shows the position of the slide-out bottom and the coal rake during normal operation
of the burn pot.
