SOOT AND FLY ASH FORMATION
11.3.3
CLEAN THE VERTICAL EXHAUST DUCT
The more frequently you clean out the
fl
y ash, the more ef
fi
cient your
appliance will burn.
A.
Operate the appliance until the pellets run out, then open the hopper
and vacuum out the entire hopper.
The dust and any other debris near the bottom should be removed to
prevent excessive build-up.
40.8B
The products of combustion will contain small particles of
fl
y ash. The
fl
y ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the
fl
ow of the
fl
ue gases. Incomplete combustion occurs during startup, shutdown, or
incorrect operation of the room appliance will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust
venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.
40.9
A.
Pivot the viewing door wide open.
B.
Remove the one screw on each exhaust port located
on either side of the
fi
re box. Remove the exhaust port
doors and set aside on a non-combustible surface.
Insert a vacuum into the exhaust port holes and remove as
much
fl
y ash as possible from behind the left and right exhaust
manifolds. Do not use a household vacuum to clean the
appliance. We recommend that you use a shop vacuum that is
equipped with a
fi
ne dust
fi
lter or a vacuum speci
fi
cally made
for ashes and soot. Using a vacuum which is not equipped with
a
fi
ne dust
fi
lter may clog and disperse
fl
y ash and soot into the
room.
NOTE: The appliance must be completely out before you vacuum the appliance. Live pellets, if
sucked into the vacuum will light the vacuum on
fi
re and may ultimately cause a house
fi
re.
Once clean, replace the exhaust port doors and secure with the screws.
