Cleaning Burn Pot
Wheneveryourstoveisnotburning,taketheopportunityto
scrapethe burn pot toremove carbon buildup.Avacuum
cleanerishandytoremovetheresidue.Be sure the stove
is cold if you use a vacuum.
Carbonbuildupcanbescrapedloosewiththereburning
usingthespecialtoolprovidedwithyourstove.Scrapethe
oorandsidesoftheburnpot.Thecarbonwillbepushedout
bytheincomingfuel.Alwayswearglovestodothis.
Removing Ashes
TurntheTempDialtonumber1approximately30minutes
beforeremovingashes.Thiswillresultinacoolerstoveand
ashpan.
Maximum FeedAdjuster settings are not needed in most
cases.Operatinginthenormalrange(#4)isrecommended
when maximum heat output is not required. The ESP
preventsthestovefrombeingover-red.
Keepthestovefreeofdustanddirt.
Fuel
Pelletfuelsareputinto3categoriesintermsofashcontent.
Premiumat1%orless,Standardat3%orlessandallothers
at3%ormore.
Thismodeliscapableofburningall3categoriesofpellets
duetoapatentedfeederandburnpotsystem.
It should be noted, however, that higher ash content will
requiremorefrequentashremoval,scrapingoftheburnpot,
andmayprovidelessBTU’sperpound.Normally,standard
andhighashpelletscostlessthanpremiumpelletsandcan
becosteffectivewhenburnedinthisunit.
Themoisturecontentmustnotexceed8%.Highermoisture
willrobBTU’sandmaynotburnproperly.
