Cleaning Internal Components
1. Remove the two heat exchanger covers. See Fig. 35. These covers are made of cast iron andare held into place with a swing latch in the upper right and left corners. See Fig 36. Swing the latch upward far enough to release the top edge of the heat exchanger cover. Tilt the cover forward approximately 2" and lift it upward about 1" to release the bottom edge. The cover can now be taken completely out through the upper door opening. Repeat the process with the second heat exchanger cover.

To remove the feeder cover:

•Slide the cover off of the threaded stud.
•Inspect and clean the inner chamber if necessary. See above picture.
•Reinstall the cover making certain it is centered on the feeder body and tighten as tightly as you can by hand.
