PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
check with dealer to see if maintenance contracts are
available.
1.
Burn Pot
– Remove the pot components see (Pot Removal
pages 24-26). clean burn pot holes whenever needed. Re-
move and place burn pot in water to soak. Use a wire brush
to aid in cleaning. Vacuum out the frame of the pot before
reinstalling burn pot and plate.
2.
Clean-Out Port
– The Furnace has an Exhaust clean Out
Port located in the cEnTER of the firebox and behind the
ash pan.
Frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of fuel being
burnt and the quality of the fuel. Failure to clean the ash
traps will cause the Furnace to become plugged with fly ash.
3.
heat Exchange Baffle
– To remove the baffle, lift the
front of the baffle up to clear the keyway and slide to the
rear. Then lower the front and remove. When putting the
baffle back in the furnace, make sure the screws are in the
keyhole slots and the back of the baffle is lifted up over
the inner back to keep the baffle locked in place. Once re-
moved, clean the ashes that accumulate on a regular basis.
Once a month or sooner, depending on the quality of fuel
being used, clean the baffle on a regular basis. Failure to
clean the baffle can cause the furnace to perform poorly.
4.
Exhaust System
– Periodic cleaning of the exhaust sys-
tem is required. Under certain conditions chimneys may
plug up rapidly. dirty/high moisture content fuel and poor
installations require more frequent chimney cleanings. See
the “Preventing chimney Fires” section of this manual. The
products of combustion will also contain small particles of fly
ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust vent and restrict
the flow of the flue gases. Judge the frequency of clean-
ing by checking the amount of ash that accumulates in the
elbows or tees of the exhaust system. ask the dealer for sug-
gested frequency of cleaning, equipment needed and proce-
dures for cleaning. check the exhaust system and ash traps
at least once every two months during the heating season.
5.
Gaskets
– Periodically inspect the condition of the rope
gasket around the door, window and ash pan door. Re-
place as needed.
6.
Air Filter
– check the return air filters at least once a
month and replace when needed. The size of the filter is
1" x 12" x 20".
7.
Actuators
– as required and at the beginning and end
of each season apply a lithium - based grease to the slide
mechanism located at the end of the actuators near the heat
exchanger. This will allow for smooth quiet operation. Remov-
ing the control panel can access this area. (See figure 14).

CAUTION
Periodic maintenance should only be done while
the Furnace is shut off and cold. The intervals are
suggestions only, more or less frequency may be
required depending on fuel and the amount of use.
