GREENFIELD MAINTENANCE
NOTE: WHEN YOU FIRST OPERATE YOUR GREENFIELD, CHECK TO
DETERMINE THE NEEDED CLEANING FREQUENCY. THE GREENFIELD
REQUIRES A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF DAILY MAINTENANCE. REQUIRED
MAINTENANCE DEPENDS LARGELY UPON THE QUALITY OF FUEL BURNED
AND THE RATE OF BURN. THE AMOUNT OF DAILY MAINTENANCE WILL
INCREASE IF FUEL QUALITY DECREASES AND/OR THE BURNING RATE OF
THE FUEL INCREASES.
NOTE: FAILURE TO KEEP YOUR STOVE CLEAN, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS
MANUAL, COULD RESULT IN POOR OPERATION, INEFFICIENT FUEL USAGE
AND A POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD! IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
OWNER/USER TO DETERMINE THE NEEDED MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY.
CAUTION: THE DOOR AND FRONT PART OF THE STOVE WILL BE HOT. DO NOT
TOUCH ANY PART OF THE UNIT THAT IS HOT!
Clinker/Ash Removal – Greenfield with the Multi-Fuel Pot
Once a clinker/ash has formed in the burn pot,
it must be removed
or the unit will go out. The St.
Croix Burn system is designed to remove the clinker/ash without loosing the fire in the burn pot.
It is a 3-step system.
1.
The Coal Rake. This is a “fork” shaped device that will allow the operator to “shave” the
burning coals off the top of the clinker, separating the 2 areas of the burn pot. The
burning fuel on top and the clinker on the bottom.
2.
The Slide-Out Bottom. This allows the bottom to be pulled out so the clinker can drop
out of the bottom of the burn pot.
3.
The program on the control board. To drop the clinker you set the board to the #1 setting
for a couple of seconds and then return the setting to the desired level. This starts a timed
delay in the program allowing the clinker to be removed, the coals to be dropped to the
bottom of the pot, and the Burn to become balanced again before the board resumes on
the setting of your choice.
Daily Maintenance – Greenfield with the Multi-Fuel Pot
Example Schedule for dropping Clinkers and Ash from burn pot:
This may be required
more than once a day, depending on the burn rate of the unit
and the quality of Fuel used.
Check
your Stove frequently at first to establish a Schedule for cleaning the burnpot. If
Clinker/Ash is not removed, the burnpot will overload and fuel will spill into the Ashpan.
1 - Continuous burning of the Stove on the Low burn setting (Pilot) –
Drop the Clinker
approximately every 30-40 hours.
This may vary depending on the quality of Fuel used.
