Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons)The following section details extensive maintenance procedures. We strongly suggest
these items be carried out by a trained service technician, possibly by a service agreement
set up with your dealer.
WARNING: Disconnect the power cord and make sure the heater has fully cooled
prior to conducting service.
Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal – The products of combustion will
contain small particles of flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the
flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect
operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting
system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.

Remove the baffles at the top of the firebox (see page 31). Remove the firepot and ashdump covers
