INTERIOR CHAMBERS
•
Burn Pot -
Periodically remove and clean the burn pot
and the area inside the burn pot housing. In particular,
it is advisable to clean out the holes in the burn pot to
remove any build up that may prevent air from moving
through the burn pot freely.
•
Heat Exchanger -
There is a clean out plate on both
sides of the heat exchanger that need to be removed to
clean fly ash out of the heat exchanger. The cleanouts
are located inside the cabinet doors, on the lower
front corners of the heat exchanger. To access these
clean outs, you must remove both side panels. The
clean outs are secured to the firebox with (2) 5/16”
screws. Remove the clean outs and vacuum out any
accumulated ash. This should be done at least once per
month or more frequently if large amounts of ash are
noticed while cleaning or if the stove does not seem to
be burning properly.
If a vacuum is used to clean your stove, we suggest
using the AV15E AshVac vacuum. The AV15E AshVac is
designed for ash removal. Some regular vacuum cleaner
(i.e. shop vacs) may leak ash into the room.
DO NOT VACUUM HOT ASH.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO PROPERLY MAINTENANCE THE CLEAN
OUTS WILL RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE OF
THIS STOVE.
