Scraping the burn pot:
Whenever adding fuel to the hopper, take the time
and scrape the grate surface of the burnpot, using
the scraper tool provided. This can be done while a
fire is burning. Wearing heat resistant gloves, open
the firebox door. Scrape any accumulated ashes
from in front of the fire, into the ash pan. Now, scrape
under the fire, in a downward direction, to loosen any
carbon deposits. Do not scrape the fire out of the pot.
Whatever you loosen will be pushed out with the flow
of new fuel into the pot. (Fig.33)
removing ashes:
After approximately 1 ton of
pellets has been burned, it will be necessary to empty
the ash pan.

steel container with a tight fitting lid. the closed
container of ashes should be moved outdoors

Whenever wood is burned, there is a potential for
creosote formation. The venting system should be
inspected periodically during the heating season to
determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If a
significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3 mm
or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney or venting system fire.
