Cleaning
Heat Exchanger Tubes
– Your unit is designed with a built in heat exchanger tube
cleaner. This should be used every 2 or 3 days to remove ash build up on the heat
exchanger tubes, which can reduce heat transfer. The handle, for the heat exchanger tube
cleaner, is located inside the firebox. Slide the rod front to back several times to clean
the tubes then follow the instructions for ash removal.
Fans
– DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE
SERVICING UNIT.
Over time ash or dust may accumulate on the blades of the convection & combustion
fans. The fans should be inspected, periodically, and if any accumulation is present
vacuumed clean as the ash or dust can impede the fans performance. It is also possible
that creosote may accumulate in the combustion fan, this must be brushed clean.
The combustion fan can be found behind the left side panel (facing the front of the unit),
the convection fan can be found behind the right side panel. To access the igniter you
must remove the air inlet tube and cover (2 screws).
Note:
When cleaning be careful not to damage the fan blades.
