CLEANING PROCEDURE:
(1)
Make sure fire is completely out and the furnace has cooled.
(2)
Remove the smoke pipe located on the rear of the furnace heat
exchanger.
(3)
The heat exchanger is now accessible for cleaning.
(4)
Use the scraper provided to remove all soot and ash from the furnace heat
exchanger and exposed surfaces.
(5)
Scrape all residues in the top heat exchanger towards the front of the
furnace where it will fall into the firebox.
(6)
Always check flue pipe for creosote or ash build-up in the pipe and clean if
necessary.
(7)
Reinstall smoke pipe making sure that all joints are secured with at least 3
sheet metal screws.
(8)
Check chimney cleanout for ash build-up and remove any accumulation.
(9)
Residue may be removed from the firebox or left to be burnt during the
next fire. It is good practice to leave a layer of ash approximately one inch
deep in the base of the firebox.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible 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.
WARNING
– Ashes usually contain live dormant coals, which may burn for many
hours after a recognizable flame has disappeared. Use extreme caution when
handling and disposing ashes.
IMPORTANT
– No other waste shall be placed in this container.
1.5.2 Servicing
The furnace air filter must be checked monthly and replaced each year. Annually
lubricate the blower motor, if it is not permanently lubricated, with 4-6 drops of
SAE-30 oil in each bearing.
CAUTION:
Failure to keep air filter clean will result in poor furnace performance
and possible damage to wood furnace heat exchanger.
