a. Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool.
b. Open the front cast door and cycle the ash removal handle

c. Inspect for any degradation or deformation.
• As the springs heat up and cool down they can lose
tension
•
If there is a gap showing above the fire pot bottom,
approximately 1/16 inch (1.59mm) or more, it means
the springs have lost their tension
•
Lost tension cannot keep the floor in the proper
position causing ignition problems and fuel falling
into the ash pan. If noted, call your dealer to replace
the springs.
