DAILY MAINTENANCE
BURN POT
Remove and clean the burn pot daily. Make sure all
of the airflow holes in the burn pot are
unobstructed. Using a small metal pick or drill bit
can aid you if these get plugged through general
use. Every time the hopper is filled with fuel, the
burn pot should be emptied.
In order to empty the burn pot, lift it out of the cradle and
dump it directly into the ash pan. Be sure any build-up is
removed when clearing the airflow holes. See Figure 30
ASH PAN
Empty the ash pan regularly. Ashes should be
contained in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
The container of ashes should be placed on
a noncombustible floor or, well away from any
combustible materials. If ashes are disposed of by
burial, or otherwise dispersed, they should remain
inside the enclosed container until all cinders have
cooled. The frequency in which the ash pan will
need emptied will vary depending on the amount of
fuel burned. See Figure 31
INTERIOR CHAMBER
In addition to the daily maintenance tasks, clean
the interior chamber with an ash vacuum. (Ash
vacuums have a metal canister that is specially
designed to contain soot).
Remove the burn pot from the cradle and vacuum
beneath. Be sure to remove any ash buildup in and
around the igniter tube. See Figure 32
NOTE: When cleaning/vacuuming out the
igniter tube, ensure that the igniter rod does not
get pushed out of position.
