4. Cleaning Ash Drawer
• Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags of fuel
• By: Homeowner
a. There must not be any hot ashes in the ash drawer
when you empty it, so allow the appliance to
completely cool.
b. Locate the ash drawer underneath the re pot.
Slide the ash drawer straight out. Empty into a
non-combustible container and re-install the ash
drawer. See Disposal of Ashes (Pg 15).
c. Always have the ash drawer in place before pulling
the re pot cleaning rod, otherwise the ashes will
fall down and ll the outside air opening and the
appliance will produce soot out of the exhaust and
will a󰀨ect e󰀩ciency.
5. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-
tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
on a non-combustible oor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending nal disposal.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.

7. Cleaning the Hopper
• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 50 bags of fuel
• By: Homeowner
After burning approximately 50 bags of fuel you will need to
clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up.
A combination of sawdust and pellets on the bottom end of
the auger reduces the amount of fuel supply to the repot.
This can result in nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown.
Allow the appliance to completely run out of pellets
and cool down.
b. Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.
c. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.
NOTE: Hearth & Home Technologies recommends to
use a heavy duty vacuum cleaners specically
designed for solid fuel appliance cleaning.
