2. Clean Burnpot with scraper, if necessary.
This is usually a weekly maintenance procedure.
Cleaning the burn pot with the scraper with a small
amount of new fuel in the bottom is not a problem. First,
scrape the ashes on the front of the burn pot into the ash
pan. Then scrape the hole grid surface downward into
the burn pot. When the stove is ignited these scrapings
will be pushed out by the feeder.
The illustration at left shows the hopper swing plate
open for easy access to the burn pot. The burn pot can
also be reached through the rebox door.
NOTE: To minimize the amount of stress placed on
the hopper swing plate hinges, opening of the hopper
swing plate should be done with the least amount of
fuel in the hopper as possible.
3. Fill Hopper with pellets.
When lling the hopper check for excessive nes
in the bottom of the hopper. Fines are small pieces of
broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do not ow easily and
often build up on the hopper funnel bottom angles.
These nes can be pushed into the feeder opening and
then ll the hopper with pellets. As the system works,
they will be burned.
