EXHAUST SYSTEM
The by products of combustion contain small
particles of y ash. Fly ash will collect in the exhaust
venting system and restrict the ow of ue gases.
Incomplete combustion, such as during startup,
shutdown, or incorrect operation of the heater will
lead to soot or creosote formation which will collect
in the exhaust system and if ignited, an extremely
hot re could result. Therefore, it is important that
the exhaust system be inspected and cleaned at
least bi-monthly during the burning season. Contact
your local municipal or provincial re authority for
information on how to handle a re. Have a clearly
understood plan to handle a re if one should ever
occur. Cleaning or monitoring the areas behind the
front cleanout door should be done frequently to
ensure minimum y ash or soot/creosote build-up.
INTERIOR CHAMBERS
Periodically remove and clean the burn pot, ame
impingement plate and the areas behind the
cleanout door. In particular, it is advisable to clean
out the holes in the burn pot to remove any build up
that may prevent air from moving through the burn
pot freely. As good practice, you should remove and
clean the burn pot each time you restart the heater,
weekly or as needed as this ensures that the best
efciency is achieved. If a vacuum is used to clean
your heater, we suggest using a vacuum designed
for ash removal. Some regular vacuum cleaner (i.e.
shop vacs) may leak ash into the room.
ASH REMOVAL
Remove the ashes periodically to avoid unnecessary
ash build up. Ash removal is as follows:
1. Let re burn out and allow unit cool to room
temperature.
2. Clean the heat exchanger tubes (see Heat
Exchanger Cleaning section) – Make sure Pellet
Stove is at room temperature before touching .
3. Open the ash pan door, remove the burn pot
and empty into metal container.
4. Vacuum to remove ashes from the rebox.
5. BE SURE THAT ASHES ARE COOL TO THE
TOUCH BEFORE VACUUMING. Some vacuum
cleaners may leak ash into the room. Your
vacuum cleaner should have a special lter or
bag to eliminate leakage.
6. Remove ash pan and dispose of ashes into
metal container.
7. Reinstall ash pan.
8. Reinstall burn pot.
ASH DISPOSAL
CAUTION:
ASHES MUST BE DISPOSED IN A METAL
CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT FITTING LID. THE
CLOSED CONTAINER OF ASHES SHOULD BE
PLACED ON A NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE
OR ON THE GROUND, WELL AWAY FROM ALL
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, PENDING FINAL
DISPOSAL.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible oor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of
by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have been thoroughly cooled. Do not place
other waste in the same container.
