BURN GRATE
The burn grate should be inspected periodical-
ly to ensure that the airflow has not become
blocked with ash or clinkers. The burn grate
can easily be cleaned with the grate
scraper/ash pan tool (see Figure 3), or it can be
removed for more extensive cleaning. When
burning "Standard" grade pellets, it will be
necessary to clean the ash pan more often than
when burning "premium" grade pellets. On
the insert model, it is very important to moni-
tor the ash build-up under the burn grate, to
prevent restriction of combustion air flow
through the burn grate. Check the center ash
pan regularly. Empty before the ash builds up
to the bottom of the grate.
HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES
A rod located above the convection air louvers is used for cleaning the heat exchanger tubes. Be
sure the door is closed while you are scraping these tubes. By pulling this rod up and down a
few times, you will clean the fly ash off the heat exchanger tubes (see Figure 4). A hole is
provided in the handle of your grate scraper tool for pulling this rod.
NOTE: If your stove was recently turned off, the rod will still be hot.
