6. Burn the stove at the HI fuel setting for at least
20 to 30 minutes each day. This helps keep the
window, ceraboard and firebox area clean. A
daily high burn also aids in maintaining the
overall efficiency and performance of the stove.
Periodic Maintenance
CAUTION:
Periodic maintenance should only
be done while the stove is shut off and cold.
1.
Empty the ash pan when it appears full. This
may range from 1 to 2 weeks in the Prescott
EXP model. The Prescott EXL model has a
much smaller ashpan and should be checked
at least twice a week. The frequency of
cleaning the ash pan will depend on the
quality and amount of pellets being used.
Carefully check to make sure the ash pan
door is tightly closed after each opening.
2.
The Prescott models have 3 Exhaust
Cleanout/Ash Trap covers, 2 of which are
located below the rear brick panel and a 3
rd
Clean Out is located behind the Ash Pan.
Remove covers and clean regularly. (
See
stoves shown in Figure 7)
Be sure to clean
both sides.
Use scraper shown in figure 5 & 6 to scrape
ash into ash pan. Use a vacuum (cold stove
only) to thoroughly clean these areas.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU KEEP ASH CLEAN
OUTS CLEAN FOR SATISFACTORY
PERFORMANCE.
Frequency of cleaning Ash Traps depends on the
amount of fuel being burnt and the quality of the
pellets. Fuel with low ash content is recommended.
Failure to clean the ash traps can cause the stove
to become plugged with fly ash and could result
in a Safety Hazard.
