Maintenance
Removing Ashes:
1. The ashes will need to be removed before
the ash pan overflows. This will be necessary about
once a day when on a high setting and approximately
every four days when on lower settings.
2. It is recommended that the stove be cooled
down and on a #1 setting.
3. Open the ash door, remove ash pan, and
close the ash door while the ashes are being disposed
of.
4. Replace the ash pan and turn the control to
the desire setting.
Note: Make sure there are no ashes on the floor
of the ash pan area. These ashes can build up behind
the ash pan preventing the ash door from closing prop-
erly.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all com-
bustible materials, pending final disposal. If ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise lo-
cally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
Cleaning:
The unit itself may not need to be cleaned until
1 1/2 to 2 tons of coal are burned.
The flue pipe itself may need to be checked bi-
weekly or bi-monthly for flyash buildup. Bulk coal is
usually a bit dirtier than bagged coal; therefore, it may
require more frequent checking.
The unit should not have any coal in it to pre-
form a proper cleaning.
1. Clean the heat exchanger with the scraper
provided. See Figure 25.
2. Clean the inside surfaces with the end of the
scraper or use a standard wire brush.
3. Clean the burn pot and scrape the inside surfaces
to remove ash buildup.
4. Inspect the holes in the burn pot to see if they are
all open. This ensures an efficient burn when all
the holes are clean.
