7.Cleaning Heat Exchanger Chambers & Drop Tube

•Frequency: Weekly or every 15 bags or more fre quently depending on ash build-up

•By: Homeowner

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.

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.Locate the 2 exposed rods directly underneath the heat exchanger tubes. Figure 14.1.

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

10.Cleaning the Hopper

•Frequency: Monthly or after burning 50 bags of fuel

•By: Homeowner

After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up.

A combination of sawdust and pellets on the auger reduces the amount of fuel supply to the firepot. This can result in nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.

a.The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow the appliance to completely cool down.

b.Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.

c.Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.

NOTE: Hearth & Home Technologies recommends to use a heavy duty vacuum cleaner specifically designed for solid fuel appliance cleaning.
