How to Clean the Primary Air Channels (some clear 100% silicone will be needed):
1. Remove the cover to the air distribution box which is located between the loading and ash
doors
(Fig.4.10)
.
This is performed by removing the 4 corner nuts and carefully breaking the
silicone seal on bottom of diffuser.
2. The air channels (
Fig. 4.11)
can then be cleaned with a brush or piece of wire.
3. After cleaning the channels the cover can be reinstalled. Remove the old silicone around the
perimeter of the cover on the back side.
4. Place a new bead of silicone around the perimeter of the cover.
5. Screw cover back into place.
4.16.6 Smoke Pipe Inspection and Cleaning
The chimney and the chimney connector must be inspected and cleaned annually. Annually disassem-
ble the stove pipe and clean ash accumulation and inspect for corrosion. If any pipe is substantially
corroded, this section must be replaced. Cleaning the connecting pipe between the boiler and the
chimney is very important for horizontal smoke pipes!
