a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and cool
and the exhaust blower off. If you are just cleaning the
firepot, there is no need to unplug the appliance.
b. Open the front door of the appliance and lift out the
firepot. Use the firepot cleaning tool to break up
deposits inside the firepot and dispose in an approved
container. Depending on the quality of fuel used, the
front of the firepot may need to be removed for better
access for cleaning.
c. Use the narrow end of the firepot cleaning tool to clean
the holes.
d. With the firepot out clean the area below the firepot.
e. Reassemble the firepot and place back inside the firepot
riser. Make sure the firepot is in the correct direction
with the slanted lip in the rear. Failure to install the
firepot correctly may result in missed ignitions.
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. Remember to place
the ash and debris into a metal or non-combustible
container.

closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly
cooled.
