10 Emptying the Ash Pan
It is essential that the ash pan (located inside the boiler combustion
chamber) is periodically emptied.
This simple task must be carried out by the user at MONTHLY
intervals for the FIRST THREE MONTHS after the boiler is installed.
After that the ash pan should be emptied regularly, on at least a
MONTHLY basis, or as indicated by the amount of ash found during
the first three months.
NOTE
The amount of ash produced varies between the different pellet
brands and this will affect the frequency of cleaning and maintenance
required.
To remove and empty the ash pan you will need the following items
(supplied with the boiler):
• The removable door handle – to open the combustion chamber
door. Refer to Figure 10-1.
• The ash pan carrying handles – to remove and carry the ash pan
when hot. Refer to Figure 10-2.
To remove and empty the ash, follow the procedure below:
Step 1
Set the burner STANDBY/ON switch to ‘STANDBY’.
Step 2
If the boiler is running at the time, wait for it to complete the burner
shut-down sequence, i.e. until the burner control panel display screen
reads ‘WAIT PELLET THERMOSTAT’.
WARNING
After the burner has been switched off (either manually
using the burner ON/STANDBY switch on the control panel,
automatically by the boiler temperature control, or the heating
system controls) the burner needs to burn-down the remaining
pellets in the brazier.
Do not AT ANY TIME open the front combustion chamber
access door until the burner display reads “WAIT BOILER
THERMOSTAT”
Step 3
Allow the burner to cool down, for a period of at least 30 minutes.
Step 4
Disconnect the pellet delivery hose from the pellet feed tube on the
burner. Refer to Figure 10-3.
Step 5
Fit the removable door handle into the slot in the door catch. Refer to
Figure 10-4.
