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

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

b.Pull firepot cleaning rod OUT 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.

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

3.Ash Removal from Firebox

•Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags or more fre- quently depending on ash build-up.

•By: Homeowner

a.There must not be any hot ashes in the firebox during cleaning so allow the appliance to completely cool. The firebox ash should be removed every time the exhaust path is cleaned. Frequent cleaning of the ash in the firebox 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 immediatley shut it off to start the exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will pull fly ash out the exhaust instead of into the room.

c.Open cast hinged face. Directly underneath the firebox door and to the left and right of the firepot are 2 cleaning slide plates with finger holes. Pull both slide plates out and then open the glass door. Sweep the remaining ash from the firebox into the 2 open holes. A paint brush works well for this. Close slide plates.

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 noncombustible container.

e.The 2 cleaning slide plates must be fully closed when cleaning is complete. See Disposal of Ashes.

4.Cleaning Ash Pan/Drawer

•Frequency: Every 5 bags or weekly or more fre- quently depending on ash build-up.

•By: Homeowner

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