•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. Open the cast front door to access the 2 cleaning rods. See Figure 29.1 on page 29.

b.Locate the 2 rods directly underneath the heat exchanger tubes. Rods are bent at a 90° angle for easy handling.

c.To clean, pull the rods straight out until it stops, approximately 10 inches (254mm). Slide the rods OUT and IN a couple of times.
