Fire Risk.
WARNING
• High ash fuels, or lack of maintenance, can
cause the firepot to overfill. Follow proper
shutdown procedure if ash buildup exceeds
half way point in firepot.
• Failure to do so could result in smoking,
sooting and possible hopper fires.
D. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
• Frequency: When the ash build-up exceeds more
than half way up the fi repot.
• By: Homeowner
Poor quality pellet fuel, or lack of maintenance, can create
conditions that make the fi repot fi ll quickly with ashes and
clinkers.
This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overfi ll-
ing the fi repot with pellets which may result in smoking,
sooting and possible hopper fi res. Figure 34.1 shows an
example where the fi repot overfi lls, pellets back up into the
feed tube and ash has accumulated in the fi rebox.
An ineffi cient and non-economical method of burning of
fuel caused by poor quality pellet fuel
is shown in Figure
34.2.
The correct fl ame size when good quality, premium pellet
fuel is burned is shown in Figure 34.3.
If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the fi repot
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.
