 Use a long handled screwdriver or putty knife to remove any deposits left in the
burnpot, being careful to remove them from the burnpot and not allow them to filter
down into the cradle area. Excessive ash build‐up in the cradle can cause poor stove
performance (See “Cleaning the Burnpot,” below).
 Turn the ash pan latch counterclockwise until it releases and slide the ash pan out of the
stove.
 Dump the ashes into a metal container (as described above) and store them on a non‐
combustible surface to allow any embers to cool before disposal.
 Slide the ash pan back into the stove; rotate the latch clockwise, making certain it
catches the lip above the ash pan opening. The stove is now ready to resume normal
operation.
 Be certain the ash pan is ALWAYS installed properly in the stove; an air‐tight seal around
the ash pan is crucial for proper operation of the stove.
Cleaning the Burnpot
Along with removing ashes from the stove, cleaning the burnpot is the other essential part
of daily maintenance that will keep the stove operating at its peak. Pellets contain varying
amounts of impurities and fusible material that will accumulate in the burnpot over time. Some
pellets will contain much higher amounts of these fusible impurities, therefore extra vigilance
may be required to maintain a clean burnpot. Allowing impurities to build up in the burnpot
can restrict the air‐flow to the fire, resulting in a dirty, inefficient burn.
 Always allow the stove to finish the shut‐down cycle and cool completely before
performing any maintenance inside the firebox.
 Open the main door of the stove and remove the burnpot by lifting it straight up and
out of the cradle. WARNING – The burnpot can remain HOT long after the fire has gone
out, so wear protective gloves whenever handling a potentially hot burnpot.
 Once the burnpot is out of the stove, use a long handled screwdriver or putty knife, as
previously mentioned, to remove any deposits from the inside of the burnpot.
 Be certain all air orifices are clear and unrestricted by fusible ash matter; a fine tipped
screwdriver or scratch awl can be useful in removing stubborn matter from these
orifices.
 Remove any ash material from the bottom of the cradle and brush any ash from the top
of the cradle into the ash pan below. Keeping the top of cradle free of ash is crucial in
allowing the burnpot to make a positive air‐tight seal with the top of the cradle.
 Insert the burnpot back into the cradle using the reverse of the procedure detailed
above.
