FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN RESULT
IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY HAZARDS. NEVER CLEAN WHEN
HOT. NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not
become plugged, if so, clean thoroughly.
ASH REMOVAL
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
The closed container or ashes should be placed on a non-combustible
surface or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials
pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by soil burial or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
ASH DISPOSAL
This furnace has an ash bin located below the firebox. To remove ashes:
a. Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.
b. With the door closed clean heat exchanger tubes. (See “CLEANING”
and Figure 15).
c. Open door and remove the optional imitation log set, if in use.
Remove the burnpot’s inner section by grasping it and pulling
straight up (see Figure 16).
d. Empty ashes from inner section into the ash bin through the opening
in the bottom of the firebox. Scrape inner section with cleaning
tool. Make sure holes are not plugged.
e. Scrape ash in firebox into the ash bin through the opening in the
bottom of the firebox or vacuum to remove ashes (see Figure 17).
WARNING: Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before using a
vacuum. See “VACUUM USE”.
f. Periodically remove and empty ash bin (see Figure 18) by
unscrewing the two knobs on the front of it and pulling it straight
out. Dispose of ashes properly. (See “ASH REMOVAL” above)
g. Replace ash bin, making sure to tighten the knobs and maintaining
a good seal.
h. Replace inner section into burnpot; make sure it is level and pushed
all the way back down and that the igniter hole is to the rear when
it is rein stalled (see Figure 16).
i. Make the burnpot is level and pushed all the way back in when it
is rein stalled. If the collar on the burnpot attached to the fresh air
tube is not pushed back to meet the firebox wall, the Hot Rod will
not work properly.
SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO)
emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when exposed to elevated
concentrations for extended periods of time. While the modern
combustion systems in heaters drastically reduce the amount of CO
emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or confined
areas can be dangerous. Make sure you stove gaskets and chimney
joints are in good working order and sealing properly to ensure
unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and
CO monitors in areas having the potential to generate CO.
VACUUM USE
If a vacuum is used to clean your unit, we suggest using a vacuum
designed for ashes. (We recommend LoveLess Ash Vac, 1-800-568-3949
Ext. #27) Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room.
Your vacuum or shop vac may have a special filter or bag available to
eliminate this leakage.
