MAINTENANCE

FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY HAZARDS. NEVER CLEAN WHEN HOT.

NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not become plugged. If so, clean thoroughly.

ASH REMOVAL

The ECO-35 has an ash bin located below the firebox To remove ashes:

a.Make sure fire is out and the firebox is cool.

b.Open the door and remove the baffle from the firebox. Slide each side of the baffle toward the center to remove(Figure 20). Close the door.

c.With the door closed, clean heat exchanger tubes by activating the cleaning rod back and forth.(Figure 18)

d.Open the door and remove the burn pot by grasping it and pulling straight out. Scrape the burn pot with a scraper if necessary. Make sure that the burn pot holes are not plugged. Empty ashes from the burn pot into the ash drawer through the opening at the bottom of the firebox. Put the burn pot back in place. Make sure it is level and pushed all the way in. Make sure the burn pot gasket is in place before putting the burn pot back. Absence of this can cause ignition problem.

e.Sweep the ashes in the firebox into the ash drawer through the opening at the bottom of the firebox or vacuum to remove ashes.

WARNING: Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before using a vacuum. See “VACUUM USE”.

f.Periodically remove and empty the ash drawer (see Figure 19)in the pedestal below the ash lip. Dispose of ashes properly.

g.Put the ash drawer back into place, making sure the ash plug is into place and maintain a good seal. A air leak will affect the combustion.

ASH DISPOSAL

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container or ashes should be placed on a non-combustible surface or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by soil burial or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
