MAINTENANCE
NORMAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Due to differences in fuel, stove cleaning intervals will
vary.
The cleaner the stove is, the more efficiently it will burn.
CLEANING THE FIREPOT
Remove and clean the burn pot/firepot daily. Make sure all
holes in the
burn pot are unobstructed. Use a small
metal pick or drill bit to keep these holes clean. SEE
FIGURE 30
FIREPOT REMAINS
Every time the hopper is filled with fuel, the firepot should be
emptied. To empty the
firepot, lift it out of the pot holder
and dump it directly into the ash pan. Be sure any build-up is
removed and that the holes are clean.
CLEANING THE GLASS
Only clean the glass when the glass is cool. Wipe glass off
frequently. Wipe the glass clean with a dry or damp rag. If
this does not clean the glass, use any non-abrasive cleaner.
Using ceramic stove top cleaner can be helpful in removing
soot from the glass. Inspect gaskets around the door
periodically. Replace any worn, frayed or compacted gaskets.
Replace broken glass only with high temperature ceramic
glass. SEE FIGURE 31.
INTERIOR CHAMBER
Clean the interior chamber with an ash vacuum. Ash
vacuums
are specially designed to contain soot and have a metal
exterior.
ASH PAN
Dump the ash pan regularly. Ashes should be
contained in a
metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a non combustible floor or
on the ground, well away from all combustible materials. If ashes
are disposed of by burial or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been
cooled. SEE FIGURE 32.
