handles counter-clockwise to release the latch mechanism and pull the
ashtray out. For models with no ashtray, scoop out the ashes into a
metal container with a tight fitting lid. An alternate method to cleaning
the ashes in the burn chamber area is to purchase a pellet vacuum. These
vacuums are specifically designed for the removal of ashes in a pellet
stove.

7. Close the ash gates (if equipped) and remove the ashtray. Dispose of the
ashes in a safe manner. If the ashes are stored in a container, make sure
the lid is secure. DO NOT place the container on a combustible surface.
Replacement of ashtray is reverse of removal.
Disposal of Ashes - Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final 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. Do not place any other
waste materials in this container.
8. Empty out the hopper once every 2 weeks. Vacuum all the sawdust
build up in the hopper and auger chute opening. Cleaning out the
sawdust from the hopper will help prevent a hopper fire from occurring.
9. Reinstall all removed parts in their original positions.
10. Clean the glass with a mild glass cleaner when dirty. DO NOT clean the
glass when the door is hot. Cleaning the glass will allow you to see the
flame and how it is burning. This is very important to see if the heater is
burning properly or not. DO NOT hit the glass or slam the door shut.
This may cause the glass to crack or break. DO NOT operate the heater
if the glass is cracked or broken. DO NOT replace the glass with any
type of glass other then an APR Industries Ltd. factory approved glass.
If the glass cracks or breaks, turn the heater OFF. DO NOT operate the
heater until the glass has been replaced.
NOTE: Depending on the type of fuel you use and the frequency that you use the pellet
stove, you may need to clean the stove more frequently.
