Fire Risk.
WARNING
• High ash fuels, or lack of maintenance,
can cause the firepot to fill with ash
and clinker. If the firepot fills to the top,
immediately shut down the unit and clean.
• Failure to do so could result in smoking,
sooting and possible hopper fires.
Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create
conditions that make the repot ll quickly with ashes and
clinkers.
This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overlling
the repot with pellets which may result in smoking, sooting
and possible hopper res. Figure 32.1 shows an example
where the repot overlls, pellets back up into the feed tube
and ash has accumulated in the rebox.
An inefcient and non-economical method of burning of fuel
caused by poor quality pellet fuel is shown in Figure 32.2.
The correct ame size when good quality, premium pellet
fuel is burned is shown in Figure 32.3.
If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the repot
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.
