CleanFire Owners Manual
2016
To maintain the efficiency of your boiler the manufacturer recommends that you perform these checks. You may
need to clean it more frequently depending on the heat load and the type of wood that you are burning. Cleaning
requires the fuel load to be at the end of the burn, with only a coal bed remaining.
Caution, the boiler will be
hot during fire chamber ash removal, as shutting down the boiler is not needed. Ashes should be
placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Maintenance
Removing the Ash From the Fire chamber (daily
or as needed)
Open the fire chamber door according to the directions in
the operating section.
Using a small shovel, remove any excess as buildup in the
fire chamber prior to reloading. The points of ash build
up will be around the primary air channels and in the
center of the fire chamber.
Once the ash has been removed, level the coal bed and
reload.
