STORING PELLETS
To guarantee that your pellets will burn
without any problems, they should be
stored in a dry and clean environment.
CAUTION: DO NOT STORE YOUR
PELLETS WITHIN THE INSTALLATION
CLEARANCES OR WITHIN THE
SPACE REQUIRED FOR FILLING THE
HOPPER OR REMOVING THE ASH.
If you have any further questions
regarding fuel for use in your RIKA pellet
stove, please contact your dealer or the
P.F.I.

CLINKERING
“Clinkering” is a normal process that
takes place in the burn pot. A clinker is a
solid substance that accumulates due to
heat and silica working together and
forming deposits during combustion.
Silica is actually sand and is present in
all pellet fuels along with a variety of
other impurities. When clinkering takes
place, these hard substances tend to
accumulate and can adversely impact
the performance of your stove as it cuts
off the air supply to the combustion
process. The burn pot should be
checked periodically for clinkers, and all
hard substances should be removed to
allow proper air flow through the bottom
of the burn pot. It should be noted that
even P.F.I. approved pellet fuels will
cause some clinkering.
For more information about how often to
clean your stove, see the Routine
Maintenance & Cleaning section of this
manual.
There is no warranty for damage or
poor performance caused by the use
of inferior or improper grades of pellet
fuels. The stove manufacturer is not
responsible for the performance of
the stove due to the use of non P.F.I.
approved pellet fuels.
