Step 3 - The Slide-Out Bottom.
(See figure 25)
Now you are ready to drop the clinker from
the burn pot. Pull the bottom out in one quick motion and let the clinker drop into the ash
pan. Quickly push the bottom in again. To pull out the slide bottom use the Rod Handle tool
that came with the unit.
Figure 25
Step 4 - The Control Board.
Set the heat setting to #1 for a few seconds and return to the
setting it was on. This initiates the time delay for dropping the clinker.
Step 5 - Dropping the coals back into the burn pot.
At this time pull the coal rake back out
of the burn pot to drop the coals in the pot.
See position of Coal Rake & Pot Bottom in figure
23 on page 41 for normal operation.
The time delay in the program will allow a smooth transition back to where the Insert was
burning before the clinker was dropped.
2.
Cleaning the Heat exchange tubes. Now you can pull the tube scraper back and forth a couple
of times to keep the tubes clean. If the Tube Scraper feels sticky and difficult to move, check for
the presence of creosote on the tubes. If creosote is present a damper adjustment may be needed
or the Multi-Fuel Insert has become plugged and needs a thorough cleaning. Call Dealer for
assistance. To pull the tube scraper back and forth use the Rod Handle tool shown in Fig. 23 on
page 41.
3.
Use a dry paper towel to clean the glass. Quickly open the door and wipe the glass. The rate
of burn will determine how often the window needs cleaning. Prolonged burning at a slow burn
rate will result in the need for more frequent window cleaning. Periodically shut the Insert down
and wipe the window with a cloth or paper towel and glass cleaner. This will normally keep the
window from accumulating difficult to clean residue. Use of a glass cleaner ONLY permitted
when the unit is cold.
CAUTION:
Do not slam the door. Do not operate the Multi-Fuel Insert with a broken or cracked
glass. Replace only with heat resistant ceramic glass supplied by the manufacturer.
There are 2 things to keep an eye on during the cleaning process.
a.
If the ash pan door or firebox door were left open for more than 60 seconds the Insert will
flash a Vacuum error (#2 LED). Simply Press the On/Off switch once to cancel the alarm
