2.Cleaning Firepot with Cleaning Rod & Firepot Clean-Out Tool

•Frequency: Daily or more often as needed

•By: Homeowner

a.The appliance must be in complete shutdown and cool and the exhaust blower off. NOTE: If you are just cleaning the fi repot, there is no need to unplug the insert.

b.Pull fi repot cleaning rod OUT and IN a couple of times to help shake debris loose. See Figure 43.3 on page 43.

If rod is hard to pull, it may be necessary to use your firepot clean-out tool to chip away material that has built up on the bottom plate of the firepot and to push out any clinkers. Larger clinkers may have to be removed from the top of the fi repot. Corn clinkers can be especially diffi cult to break up.

c.The firepot floor plate must be fully closed when finished.

See Figure 28.1 on page 28.

3.Ash Removal from Firebox

•Frequency: Weekly or 5 bags or more frequently depending on ash build-up

•By: Homeowner

a.There must not be any hot ashes in the fi rebox during cleaning so allow the appliance to completely cool. The fi rebox ash should be removed every time the exhaust path is cleaned. Frequent cleaning of the ash in the fi rebox will help slow down the build-up of ash in the exhaust blower and vent system.

b.Plug in your appliance, if unplugged, and turn the thermostat on and immediately shut it off to start the exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will pull fl y ash out the exhaust instead of into the room.

c.Open door. There are 2 cleaning slide plates to the left and right of the fi repot with fi nger holes. Pull both slide plates out and sweep the remaining ash from the fi rebox into the 2 open holes. A paint brush works well for this. Close slide plates.

d.This ash is deposited in the same ash drawer as the firepot debris. The ash drawer should be emptied every time you clean the fi rebox. Remember to place the ash and debris into a metal or non-combustible container.

e.The 2 cleaning slide plates must be fully closed when cleaning is complete.

4.Cleaning Ash Drawer

•Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags or more frequently depending on ash build

•By: Homeowner

Locate the ash drawer underneath the firepot and slide the ash drawer straight out. Empty into a non- combustible container and re-install ash drawer.

5.Disposal of Ashes

•Frequency: As needed

•By: Homeowner

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fi tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible fl oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal.

If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.

WARNING
