D. High Ash Fuel Content Maintenance
• Frequency: As needed
• By: Homeowner
Poor quality pellet fuel, lack of maintenance, or if the small
dial control is set to a less than optimum setting, poor com-
bustion conditions that make the firepot fill quickly with ashes
and clinkers.
This condition makes the appliance susceptible to overfilling
the firepot with pellets which may result in smoking, soot-
ing and possible hopper fires. The figure below shows an
example where the firepot overfills, pellets back up into the
feed tube and ash has accumulated in the firebox.
An inefficient and non-economical method of burning of fuel
caused by poor quality pellet fuel is shown below.
If the ash buildup exceeds the half way point in the firepot
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CLEANING IS REQUIRED.
