1. Auto-Clean System Inspection & Cleaning
• Frequency: Monthly or every ton (aprx. 50 bags) or
more frequently depending on the type of fuel
• By: Homeowner
a. Be sure the wall control screen says OFF, the appliance
is allowed to cool and the power switch is in the OFF
position.
b. Open the Front and fi rebox door. Inspect the auto-clean
springs: (See item #33 on Figure C on page 57 for the
location of the springs).
3. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
a. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-
fi tting lid.
b. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible fl oor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal.
c. 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.
2. Cleaning Ash Pan
• Frequency: Wood Pellets: Weekly or every 3-5 bags
Alternate Fuel: Daily or every 1 bag
• By: Homeowner
a Locate the ash pan underneath the fi repot.
b. Slide the ash pan straight out.
c. Empty into a non-combustible container and re-install ash
pan.
d. When replacing ash pan push it back until it catches on
the 2 side latches.
e. Clinkers fi lling the ash pan will have to be cleaned out
more often than ash. See Disposal of Ashes.
WARNING! RISK OF FIRE! Keep combustible materials,
gasoline and other fl ammable vapors and liquids clear of
appliance.
• Do NOT store fl ammable materials in the appliance’s
vicinity.
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene
charcoal lighter fl uid or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a fi re in this heater.
Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in
use as combustible materials may ignite.
c. Inspect the holes in the fi repot fl oor for any debris.
• The holes must be kept clear.
• Burning corn will cause the holes to fi ll with particles
and will need to be removed.
d. How often the fi repot cleans itself depends on:
• The type of fuel you selected on the thermostat wall
control
• How long the apliance burns before satisfying set point
on the the wall control.
• Burning biomass fuels may require a more thorough
cleaning during the burn season.
e. Excessive clinkers will eventually jam the auto-clean
system and generate an error message on the wall
control.
• Inspect for any degradation or deformation
• As the springs heat up and cool down they can lose
tension
• If there is a gap showing above the fi repot bottom,
approximately 1/16 inch (1.59mm) or more, it means
the springs have lost their tension
• Lost tension can not keep the fl oor in the proper
position causing ignition problems and fuel falling
into the ash pan.
• Call your dealer to replace the springs.
E. General Maintenance and Cleaning
WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!
Do NOT store fuel:
• Closer than required clearances to combustibles to ap-
pliance.
