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.
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 lling
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.
