and scrape the grate surface of the burnpot, using
the scraper tool provided. This can be done while a
reisburning.Wearingheatresistantgloves,open

Removing Ashes:
After approximately 1 ton of pellets has been
burned, it will be necessary to empty the ash pan.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight tting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
oor or on the ground, well away from all com-
bustible materials, pending nal disposal. If
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or other-
wise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
It is recommended that the stove is cold and
shut down when removing ash pan.
1. Pull on latch handle and remove ash pan. Use ash
pan handle to carry and dispose of ashes.
2. Slide the ash pan back into the stove and latch the
door by pushing down on the latch handle.
Cleaning:
The stove should be shut-down and thoroughly
cleaned after each ton of pellets consumed. The
cleanerthestove,themoreefcientitwillbe.
Note: Fuel with higher ash and moisture con-
tent will require more frequent cleanings.
1. Shut down stove and disconnect power cord to
insure that all motors are stopped.

Cleaning the Door Glass
• Always use a soft cloth and glass cleaner (such as Windex, or a mixture of vinegar & water) to clean the glass.
• Do not use razor blades or any other hard object to scrape the glass.
Whenever wood is burned, there is a potential for
creosote formation. The venting system should be
inspected periodically during the heating season to
determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If a
signicantlayerofcreosotehasaccumulated(3mm
or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimneyorventingsystemre.
