P61A Pellet Stove
Whenever adding fuel to the hopper, take the time
and scrape the grate surface of the burnpot, using
the scraper tool provided. This can be done while a
re is burning. Wearing heat resistant gloves, open
the rebox door. Scrape any accumulated ashes
from in front of the re, into the ash pan. Now, scrape
under the re, in a downward direction, to loosen any
carbon deposits. Do not scrape the re out of the
pot. Whatever you loosen will be pushed out with
the ow of new fuel into the pot. (Fig.33)
After approximately 1 ton of pellets has been
burned, it will be necessary to empty the ash pan.
It is recommended that the stove is cold and
shut down when removing the ash pan.
1. Lift the latch handle to open the ash door and
remove the ash pan. Use ash pan handle to carry
and dispose of ashes.
2. Slide the ash pan back into the stove and latch
the door by pushing down on the latch handle
when closed.
The stove should be shut-down and thoroughly
cleaned after each ton of pellets consumed. The
cleaner the stove, the more efcient it will be.
Fuel with higher ash and/or moisture
content will require more frequent cleanings.

to insure that all motors are stopped.
