There are 2 things to keep an eye on during the cleaning process.
1. If the ash pan door or firebox door were left open for more than 60 seconds the
Stove will go into safety shutdown. You will notice that the Stove quits augering
corn into the burn pot. Toggle the On/Off switch off and back on. This will reset the
board. You will need to use the auger button (#3) to manually feed corn into the pot
for a couple of minutes until the program resumes.
2. If the stove has been running for an extended period of time on the #5 setting, the
clinker will sometimes stick to the burn pot. If that happens, pull the coal rake back
out. Open the door and use a long screwdriver and give the clinker a couple nudges
in the pot. (Make sure the burnpot bottom is closed when you do this or you will lose
the coals with the clinker) Then repeat the steps for dropping the clinker.
Remember: The coal rake must be pulled out and the slide bottom pushed in
during normal operation of the stove. (See figure 5 on page 12)
Remember: The fire door and ash pan doors must be in the latched position
during normal operation of the Stove. (See stove layout on page 3)
Periodic Maintenance
CAUTION: Periodic maintenance should only be done while the Stove is shut off and
cold.
1. Ashpan. Empty the ash pan when it
appears full (approximately once a
week if the clinkers have been
removed an a daily basis). The
frequency of cleaning the ash pan
will depend on the quality and
amount of Corn/Pellets being used.
Carefully check to make sure the
ash pan door is tightly closed after
each opening.
2. Burnpot and Slide-Out Bottom.
Clean burn grate holes whenever
needed. Remove the Burnpot and
use a small metal object (Nail, Drill
Bit, etc) to clean out plugged holes.
