Use the at end of the scraper provided to scrape down
over the holed surface of the burnpot grate. Fig. 18. It is
notnecessarytocleanoutthescrapingsfromthiscleaning
because they will be pushed out the next time the auger
operates.
Note: Make a special effort to scrape the bottom inside
corners of the burnpot where the auger tube enters the
burnpot. Carbon deposits can build up over time in this area
that may cause a restriction to the ow of pellets into the
burnpot.
