NOTICE
The type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you
have to clean your burnpot.
Clean more frequently if you
encounter heavy build-up of ash at the recommended
interval or you see soot coming from the vent. Not
properly cleaning your appliance on a regular basis
will void your warranty.
