A 3-month cleaning will give you a base line as to how often your DVC500 needs to be cleaned. Cleaning intervals will differ in each installation because of the ash and moisture content of the coal and the amount of coal burned.

NOTE: Unit should be off & cooled down enough to perform these maintenance items:

1.Remove Ash Pan then remove ash shield behind Ash Pan, fig.22. Lift the shield up and forward in order to remove it from the stove. This will expose the Blower Cover and Latch, fig.23.

2.Rotate the Latch counterclockwise to the vertical position as shown in fig. 24.

3.Remove the Blower Cover by tilting the left side slightly forward. Next, slide the Cover left and out of the slot that holds the right side in place. The Cover can now be removed to expose the Draft Blower Wheel and Exhaust Outlet, fig. 25.

4.The blower wheel, blower housing, and exhaust outlet can now be cleaned with a brush and vac- uum cleaner. NOTE: The ESP probe is located at the rear of the exhaust outlet shown in fig 28. Be careful not to damage the probe when clean- ing.

5.Open the Fines Cover on the bottom of the feeder under the grates and clean, see fig.26. ATTEN-

TION: MAKE SURE COVER IS CLOSED AND TIGHTENED BEFORE RELIGHTING UNIT. UNIT WILL NOT OPERATE PROP- ERLY WITH CLEAN OUT COVER LEAK- AGE.

6.Check the flue pipe for excess buildup of fly ash and clean if necessary.

7.Clean the glass thoroughly, use a safety razor to scrape the sulfur buildup from the surface of glass. Then clean with standard window cleaning fluid, fig.21.

8.Inspect all gaskets for damage and turn the control to "test", for motor test before relighting a fire.
