CLEANING
INTERIORCHAMBERS
Thetwoashcleanoutdoorsinthefireboxcanberemovedforperiodic
cleaning.Thesedoorsallowaccesstothechamberbehindthefirebox.

Youmustperiodicallyvacuumashesfromthischamber.Dependingon
theamountoffuelyouburnandtheashcontentofthefuel,you
may
needtocleanthesechambersasoftenaseveryotherweek.Formost
people,onceamonthissufficient.Closelyobservetheamountofash
removedduringthefirstseveralcleaningstogetagoodideaofhow
oftenyouneedtoclean.

Whencleaningbehindthesedoors,be
verythorough.Donotjust
vacuumwhatyoucansee.Youneedtogethighupinsideofthese
chambersandtotheleftandrightwithyourvacuum.Ifyourvacuum
nozzleisnotsmallenoughtogethighupinsideofthesechambers,you
shouldpurchaseanattachmentthat
can.

Theashdumpsliderplatescanbeopenedallowingtheashanddebristhathasaccumulatedinthecombustionchambertobe
brushedandscrappeddownintotheashpan.Thiscanbeaccomplishedasneeded,untiltheashpanbeginstofill.Oncetheash
panstartsto
fill,removetheashpananddisposeoftheashesinasafeandenvironmentallyfriendlymanner.See“AshDisposal”.

Ifyouburnalotofwoodpellets,youmayneedtoremovecreosote,whichcanaccumulaterapidlyundercertainconditions.Asmall
wirebrushcanbeused.Itis
importanttoremovethiscreosotebecauseitishighlycombustible.INSPECTBEHINDTHESECLEANING
