Frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of fuel being burnt and the quality of the Corn,
wheat, rye, Cherry Pits or Distiller’s Grain.
Failure to clean the Ash Traps will cause the
Stove to become plugged with Fly Ash.

Heat Exchange Baffle.
Remove the baffle and clean the ash that accumulates on
a
regular basis. Once a month or sooner, depending on the quality of fuel being used
To remove the baffle
(See Figure 28)
, lift the back of the baffle up to clear the inner back of the
stove and slide towards the front of the stove. The baffle will slide out of the keyhole slots and
drop down.
When putting the baffle back in the stove, make sure the tabs are in the keyhole
slots and the back of the baffle is lifted up over the inner back.
Clean the baffle on a regular basis. Frequency of cleaning depends on amount of fuel being burnt
and the quality of the fuel. Fuel with low ash content is recommended.
Failure to clean the baffle can cause the Stove to become plugged with fly ash.
5.
Exhaust System.
See Figure 28 and 29 for information on cleaning fly ash that collects in
the vent system. Periodic cleaning of the exhaust system is required. Under certain conditions
chimneys may plug up rapidly. Dirty/High Moisture content Fuel and poor installations
require more frequent chimney cleanings. The products of combustion will also contain small
particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust vent and restrict the flow of the
flue gases.
