1. Check Grate Weldment and Shaker Plate (See figure 26) to determine if holes are
plugged. Clean as needed. With proper precautions the grate may be partially cleaned
while the stove is hot. Follow these steps:
a. Wear a leather glove that covers the lower arm.
b. Turn the Stove to Heat Level 1 and allow the flame to burn down to a low burn.
c. Open the firebox door slowly to prevent drawing ash or odors into the room.
d. Use the “scraper” provided to move the burning pellets to one side of the grate, leaving
the ash in the bottom of the grate. (See Fig 25)
e. Rake the ash & clinkers out over the grate into the ash pan.
f. Rake the burning pellets across the bottom of the grate.
g. Close the door and re-select the desired heat setting.
