10.1.5 MAKE SURE PELLETS ARE NOT PILING UP
With the appliance cool (or wearing heat resistant gloves),
slide the heat exchange cleaner rod up and down several
times to prevent the build up of ash on the heat exchange
tubes.
Keep the viewing door closed so the fl y ash does not enter the
room.
NOTE: More frequent cleaning may be required depending
upon pellet quality.

WARNING
If the pellets build up over the burn pot, turn the pellet feed switch to “OFF”. If
the fl ames seem to be coming only from the sides, or are orange/black, turn
the appliance off and check for build up of pellets.
The most likely causes are:
A. Feed rate has been set to maximum for an extended period of time.
Turn feed rate to optimum.
B. The door, glass, or ash pan is open or has an air leak.
C. The burn pot requires cleaning.
D. The exhaust system requires cleaning.
E. The appliance requires adjustment (trim feed rate and blower).
F. Poor pellet quality
