Cleaning

Burn

Pot

Whenever

your

stove

is

not

burning,

take

the

opportunity

to

scrape

the

burn

pot

to

remove

carbon

buildup.

A

vacuum

cleaner

is

handy

to

remove

the

residue.

Be

sure

the

stove

is

cold

if

you

use

a

vacuum.

Carbon

buildup

can

be

scraped

loose

with

the

fire

burning

using

the

special

tool

provided

with

your

stove.

Scrape

the

floor

and

sides

of

the

burn

pot.

The

carbon

will

be

pushed

out

by

the

incoming

fuel.

Always

wear

gloves

to

do

this.

Removing

Ashes

Turn

the

Stove

Temp

Dial

to

number

1

approxi-

mately

30

minutes

before

removing

ashes.

This

will

result

in

a

cooler

stove

and

ash

pan.

Maximum

Turbo

settings

are

not

needed

in

most

cases.

Operating

in

the

normal

range

is

rec-

ommended

when

maximum

heat

output

is

not

re-

quired.

The

ESP

probe

prevents

the

stove

from

be-

ing

over-fired.

Keep

the

stove

free

of

dust

and

dirt.

Helpful

Hints

Fuel

Pellet

fuels

are

put

into

3

categories

in

terms

of

ash

content.

Premium

at

1%

or

less,

Standard

at

3%

or

less

and

all

others

at

3%

or

more.

The

P61

is

capable

of

burning

all

3

categories

of

pellets

due

to

a

patented

feeder

and

burn

pot

system.

It

should

be

noted,

however,

that

higher

ash

content

will

require

more

frequent

ash

removal

and

may

provide

less

BTU's

per

lb.

Normally,

standard

and

high

ash

pellets

cost

less

than

premium

pellets

and

can

be

cost

effective

when

burned

in

the

P61.

The

moisture

content

must

not

exceed

8%.

Higher

moisture

will

rob

BTU's

and

may

not

burn

properly.
