D. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
• Frequency: When the ash build-up exceeds the half
way point in the repot
• By: Homeowner
If the ash build-up exceeds the half way point in the repot
before it automatically cleans, then the repot is not being
cleaned often enough.
Another symptom is if clinkers are adhering to the sides of
the repot.
Double check the wall control to ensure the proper setting
has been selected for the fuel you are burning. If that is cor-
rect, change the setting to “Utility Pellet”.
NOTE: You will need to empty the ash pan more fre-
quently if using the “Utility Pellet” setting.
