Clean-Out Ports.
The Ashby-P Insert has 2 Exhaust Cleanout Ports located in the
LEFT AND RIGHT lower corners of the firebox. Remove covers and clean regularly
Figure 28 also shows the location of the Exhaust Tee clean-out rod. The insert has a built
in cleanout to be able to vacuum the buildup that accumulates in the vent system from the
front of the unit without having to pull the unit from the fireplace. Figure 29 shows the
area that can be reached with a vacuum cleaner without having to pull the insert from the
fireplace. The Exhaust Tee Cleanout Rod must be pulled forward to open the Cleanout
Tee Cleaning this area on a regular basis will prevent the vent system from becoming
plugged with fly-ash. The recommended size of the hose to use for vacuuming this area is
1.25” outside diameter. The hose should be inserted into the left Cleanout Port and
vacuum all the way back to below the built in Tee as shown in Figure 29.
Push the Rod
back in to close the bottom of the Cleanout Tee.
Frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of fuel being burnt and the quality of the
Fuel..
Failure to clean the ash traps will cause the Insert to become plugged with Fly
Ash.
