Maintaining & Servicing Your Appliance
C. General Maintenance
1. Types of Fuel
Depending on the type of fuel you are burning will dictate
how often you have to clean your repot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content
or you are burning shelled eld corn, it may be necessary
to clean the repot more than once a day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the repot. A clinker
is formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is
heated to 2000°F (109°C) and becomes glass-like. See
“D” page 32 in this section for more details on fuels with
high ash content.
