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.

b.Locate the 2 exposed rods directly underneath the heat exchanger tubes. Figure 14.1.

10.Cleaning the Hopper

Frequency: Monthly or after burning 50 bags of fuel

By: Homeowner

After burning approximately 1 ton of fuel you will need to clean the hopper to prevent sawdust build-up.

A combination of sawdust and pellets on the auger reduces the amount of fuel supply to the firepot. This can result in nuisance shutdowns and mis-starts.

a.The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow the appliance to completely cool down.

b.Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.

c.Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.

NOTE: Hearth & Home Technologies recommends to use a heavy duty vacuum cleaner specifically designed for solid fuel appliance cleaning.
