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 P2700 has an ash bin located below the firebox. To remove
ashes:
a.
Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.
b.
Clean heat exchanger tubes (see “
CLEANING
” and Figure 14).
c.
Remove optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove burn pot
by grasping it and pulling straight out.
d.
Empty ashes from burn pot. Scrape burn pot with cleaning tool.
Make sure burnpot holes are not plugged.
e.
Scrape ash in firebox into the under-stove bin through the
opening (see Figure 15) or vacuum to remove ashes.
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 16) by
unscrewing the two knobs on the front of the pedestal below
the lower cowl. 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 burn pot. Make sure it 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.
