6.Cleaning Heat Exchanger Tubes

•Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags of fuel

•By: Homeowner

The amount of ash buildup in the fi rebox will be a good guide to determine how often you should clean the heat exchangers.

a. Allow the appliance to completely cool down before pulling the cleaning rods. Turn the thermostat on and then immediately off to start the exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will pull fl y ash out the exhaust instead of into the room.

b.Locate the 2 exposed rods directly underneath the heat exchanger tubes. Figure 34.1.

c.To clean, pull the rods straight out until it stops, approximately 8 inches (203mm). Slide the rods OUT and IN a couple of times.
