 P43 Pellet Stove
removing ashes:
When approximately 1 ton of pellets has been
burned, it will be necessary to empty the ash pan.
ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all com-
bustible materials, pending final disposal. If
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or other-
wise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
1. Pull on latch handle and remove ash pan. Use ash
pan handle to carry and dispose of ashes.
. Slide the ash pan back into the stove and latch the
door by pushing down on the latch handle.
cleaning:
The stove should be cleaned after burning ap-
proximately 1 ton of pellets (50 bags). The cleaner
the stove the more efficient it will be. You will burn
less pellets and heat output will be greater.
note: Higher ash content pellets will require
more frequent cleanings.

insure that all motors are stopped.
