Clinker

Back side of Firepot
Firepot floor left open
Figure 19.2
NOTE: If you are just cleaning the re pot, there is no
need to unplug the insert.
C. General Maintenance and Cleaning
1. Types of Fuel
Type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you have
to clean your re pot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content, it
may be necessary to clean the re pot more than once a
day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the re pot
(Figure 19.1). A clinker is formed when dirt, ash or a non-
burnable substance is heated to 2000°F (1093°C) and
becomes glass-like. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
on page 23 in this section for more details on fuels with high
ash content.
3. Ash Removal from Firebox
• Frequency: Weekly or more frequently depending on
ash build-up
• By: Homeowner
a. There must not be any hot ashes in the rebox during
cleaning so allow the appliance to completely cool.
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 immediately shut it o󰀨 to start the
exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will pull y ash out
the exhaust instead of into the room.
c. Open door. There are 2 cleaning slide plates to the
left and right of the re pot with nger holes. Pull both
slide plates out and 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 drawer as the
re pot debris. The ash drawer should be emptied
every time you clean the rebox. Remember to
place the ash and debris into a metal or non-
combustible container.
e. The 2 cleaning slide plates must be fully closed when
cleaning is complete. See Disposal of Ashes on
page 20.
4. Cleaning Ash Drawer
• Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags of fuel
• By: Homeowner
Empty into a non-combustible container and re-install ash
drawer (Disposal of Ashes on page 20).
b. Pull re pot cleaning rod OUT and IN a couple of
times to help shake debris loose.
c. If rod is hard to pull, it may be necessary to use your
re pot clean-out tool to chip away material that has
built up on the bottom plate of the re pot and to
push out any clinkers. Larger clinkers may have to be
removed from the top of the re pot.
d. The re pot oor plate must be fully closed when
nished (Figure 19.2).
2. Cleaning Fire pot with Cleaning Rod & Fire pot
Clean-Out Tool
• Frequency: Daily or more often as needed
• By: Homeowner
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and
cool and the exhaust blower o󰀨.
Fire Risk.
NEVER pull re pot cleaning rods or
cleaning slide plates when appliance is
operating. Hot pellets may fall into ash pan
and may start a re or have mis-starts due
to lack of vacuum.
WARNING
Fire Risk
The cleaning slide plates must be fully
CLOSED when appliance is operating.
Hot pellets may fall into ash pan and start
a re.
