5. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight-tting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible oor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending nal
disposal.
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 Firepot with Cleaning Rod & Firepot
Clean-Out Tool
• Frequency: Daily or more often as needed
• By: Homeowner
a. Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been
unplugged and the exhaust blower is off. If you are
just cleaning the repot, there is no need to unplug the
appliance.
b. Pull repot cleaning rod OUT and IN a couple of times
to help shake debris loose. If rod is hard to pull, it may
be necessary to use your repot clean-out tool to chip
away material that has built up on the bottom plate of
the repot and to push out any clinkers. Larger clinkers
may have to be removed from the top of the repot.
Corn clinkers can be especially difcult to break up.
c. The firepot floor plate must be fully closed when
nished. See Figure 27.1 on page 27.
4. Cleaning Ash Pan
• Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags of fuel
• By: Homeowner
Locate the ash pan underneath the repot and using a
slight pull up and out remove the ash pan. Empty into
a non-combustible container and re-install ash pan.
See Disposal of Ashes.

• By: Homeowner
WARNING
• NEVER pull repot cleaning rods or cleaning
slide plates when appliance is operating.
• Hot pellets may fall into ashpan and may start a
re or have mis-starts due to lack of vacuum.
Fire Risk.
Disposal of Ashes
WARNING
• Ashes should be placed in metal container
with tight tting lid.
• Ashes should be retained in closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
a. There must not be any hot ashes in the rebox during
cleaning so allow the appliance to completely cool.
The rebox ash should be removed every time the
repot is cleaned. Frequent cleaning of the ash in
the rebox will help slow down the build-up of ash in
the exhaust blower and vent system.
b. Plug in your appliance, if unplugged, and turn the
thermostat on and immediatley shut it off to start the
exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will pull y ash
out the exhaust instead of into the room.
c. Open cast hinged face. Directly underneath the
rebox door and to the left and right of the repot are
2 cleaning slide plates with nger holes. Pull both
slide plates out and then open the glass door. Sweep
the remaining ash from the rebox into the 2 open
holes. A paint brush works well for this. Close slide
plates.
d. This ash is deposited in the same ash pan as the
repot debris. The ash pan should be emptied every
time you clean the rebox. Remember to place
the ash and debris into a metal or noncombustible
container.
e. The 2 cleaning slide plates must be fully closed when
cleaning is complete. See Disposal of Ashes.
6. Cleaning the Hopper
• Frequency: Monthly or after burning 1 ton of fuel
• By: Homeowner
After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel or changing
fuels you will need to clean the hopper to prevent saw-
dust build-up.
A combination of sawdust and pellets on the auger
reduces the amount of fuel supply to the repot. This
can result in nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.
a.
Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been
unplugged and the exhaust blower is off.
b Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.
c. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.
