2.Cleaning Firepot with Cleaning Rod & Firepot Scraper

•Frequency: Daily or more often as needed

•By: Homeowner

a.Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been unplugged and the exhaust blower is off. If you are just cleaning the firepot, there is no need to unplug the appliance.

b.Pull firepot cleaning rod OUT and IN a couple of times to help shake debris loose. 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 firepot. Corn clinkers can be especially difficult to break up.

c.The firepot floor plate must be fully closed when finished. See Figure 27.1 on page 27.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

•NEVER pull firepot cleaning rods or cleaning slide plates when appliance is operating. Hot pellets may fall into ashpan and may start a fire or have mis-starts due to lack of vacuum.

3.Ash Removal from Firebox

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

•By: Homeowner

a.Allow the appliance to completely cool down. There must not be any hot ashes in the firebox during cleaning. Turn the thermostat on and then immediately off to start the exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will pull fly ash out the exhaust instead of into the room.

b.Frequent cleaning of the ash in the firebox will help slow down the build-up of ash in the exhaust blower and vent system.

c.Open door. Remove ash with an ash vacuum or whisk broom and small dust pan.

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

See Disposal of Ashes.

WARNING

Disposal of Ashes

•Ashes should be placed in metal container with tight fitting lid.

•Ashes should be retained in closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

4.Cleaning Ash Pan

•Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags of fuel

•By: Homeowner

Locate the ash pan underneath the firepot and using a slight pull up and out remove the ash pan. Empty into

anon-combustible container and re-install ash pan.

See Disposal of Ashes.

5.Disposal of Ashes

•Frequency: As needed

•By: Homeowner

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final 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

Heat exchanger cleaning rods may be warm to the touch. For safety purposes wear gloves.

Do not pull heat exchanger cleaning rods while appliance is operating.

Push cleaning rods IN when done, DO NOT leave cleaning rods OUT. Injury can occur.

6.Cleaning Heat Exchanger Chambers & Drop Tube

•Frequency: Weekly or every 1 ton of fuel

•By: Homeowner

The amount of ash buildup in the firepot 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 fly ash out the exhaust instead of into the room.

b.To access the cleaning rods lift the hopper lid. Both black bent handle pull rods are located close to the face of the appliance to the left and right side.

c.To clean, pull the rods straight out until it stops, approximately 20 inches (508mm). Slide the rods OUT and IN a couple of times.
