Check Firepot for
Clinkers
If the flames seem to be
coming only from the sides,
or are orange/black, turn
the heater off and check for
clinkers (ashes that solidify
into a clump).
The most likely causes are:
Restrictor needs
adjustment (see
Restrictor
Adjustment in the
installation section of
this manual)
Poor pellet quality
The door or glass has
an air leak
The exhaust system
requires cleaning
Cleaning the Firepot
WARNING:
Make sure the heater
has fully cooled
(approximately 25
minutes) before
opening the door and
conducting service.
To clean the firepot, open
the door (see page 27) and
knock away any debris on
the firepot with a
screwdriver. If severely
clogged, remove the
firepot to gain better
access.
