HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES
ONLY CLEAN HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES AFTER STOVE HAS COOLED DOWN. A rod is located above the heat exchange baffle (inside of firebox) is used for cleaning the tubes. After opening the firebox door, use the hole in the handle of the grate scraper tool to “grab” onto the rod (see pictures on this page). Using the grate scraper tool, pull the rod up and out towards the opening of the firebox. Continue pulling until the tube scraper reaches the top of the firebox.
It may be easier to clean the tubes by first removing the heat exchanger baffle. Loosen the two screws holding the baffle in place (do not fully remove). The baffle con- tains keyhole slots allowing the screws to remain in place while removing the baffle. The scraper can now be pulled in a more horizontal manner, which allows the scraper to move more freely.
