D. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
Conditions that make the fi repot fi ll quickly with ashes
and clinkers require higher maintenance for the appliance
include:
· Poor quality pellet fuel.
· Lack of maintenance.
· Trim Dial is set to a less than optimum setting.
This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overfi lling
the fi repot with pellets which may result in smoking, soot-
ing and possible hopper fi res. The fi gure below shows an
example where the fi repot overfi lls, pellets back up into the
feed tube and ash has accumulated in the fi rebox.
An ineffi cient and non-economical method of burning of fuel
caused by poor quality pellet fuel
is shown below.
If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the fi repot
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.
