the firepot cleaning rod, otherwise the ashes will fall
down and fill the outside air opening and the appliance
will produce soot out of the exhaust and will affect
efficiency.
a. There must not be any hot ashes in the firebox during
cleaning so allow the appliance to completely cool. The
firebox ash should be removed every time the exhaust path
is cleaned. Frequent cleaning of the ash in the firebox will
help slow down the build-up of ash in the exhaust blower
and vent system.
b. Vacuum out the firebox thoroughly on both sides of the
firebox and the floor and ceiling. The ash drawer should be
emptied every time you clean the firebox. Remember to
place the ash and debris into a metal or non-combustible
container.
