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

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container or ashes should be placed on a noncombustible 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.

ASH DISPOSAL

The P4000 has an ash bin located below the firebox. To remove ashes:

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

b.With the door closed clean heat exchanger tubes. (See “CLEANING” and Figure 15).

c.Open door and remove the optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove the burnpot’s inner section by grasping it and pulling straight up (see Figure 16).

d.Empty ashes from inner section into the ash bin through the opening in the bottom of the firebox. Scrape inner section with cleaning tool. Make sure holes are not plugged.

e.Scrape ash in firebox into the ash bin through the opening in the bottom of the firebox or vacuum to remove ashes (see Figure 17).

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

f.Periodically remove and empty ash bin (see Figure 18) by unscrewing the two knobs on the front of it and pulling it straight out. Dispose of ashes properly.

(See “ASH REMOVAL” above)

g.Replace ash bin, making sure to tighten the knobs and maintaining a good seal.

h.Replace inner section into burnpot; make sure it is level and pushed all the way back down and that the igniter hole is to the rear when it is reinstalled (see Figure 16).

i.Make the burnpot is level and pushed all the way back in when it is reinstalled. If the collar on the burnpot attached to the fresh air tube is not pushed back to meet the firebox wall, the Hot Rod will not work properly.

VACUUM USE

If a vacuum is used to clean your unit, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ashes.

(We recommend LoveLess Ash Vac, 1-800-568-3949 Ext. #27)

Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room. Your vacuum or shop vac may have a special filter or bag available to eliminate this leakage.
