5. Ash Removal System Inspection & Cleaning
• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 50 bags
• By: Homeowner
a. Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool.
b. Open the front cast door and cycle the ash removal
handle - these should be inspected for functionality
c. Inspect for any degradation or deformation.
— As the springs heat up and cool down they can
lose tension
— If there is a gap showing above the re pot
bottom, approximately 1/16 inch (1.59mm)
or more, it means the springs have lost their
tension
— Lost tension cannot keep the oor in the
proper position causing ignition problems and
fuel falling into the ash pan. If noted, call your
dealer to replace the springs.

• By: Homeowner

need to clean the hopper to prevent sawdust and/or
nes build-up.

auger reduces the amount of fuel supply to the re
pot.

starts
— Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.
— Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.
