If you still think you have a leak in your heater, remove all wood and ashes from the
heater. Let it set a couple of days with doors closed. Then open the ash door. If you
have a leak, water will run out of the ash box.
6-5 Improper Burning
If the fire is not burning properly, remove all of the ashes and wood from the heater.
Check to see if the grates are stopped up. Check the air intake at the back of the
heater to insure it is clear of ashes. Lift the damper lid to check for ashes. Check to
see if the force air blower is running. If you have made these checks and the fire
will not burn properly, remove the smoke stack and check for creosote buildup.
Look down the smoke stack into the firebox to check for creosote buildup. Looking
through the firebox door you will see an opening on the lower left and lower right
corners just above the grates. These holes need to remain open for proper burn.
The plate in the center is a loose plate that can be removed through the firebox
door, cleaned, and reinstalled. These steps should correct the problem.
6-6 Ash Removal
Ashes must be removed before they build up to the level of the grates. Failure to
keep the ash bin cleaned out will result in warped grates. The buildup of ashes in
the firebox should be checked at least once a week. Allow the fire to burn down
until the grates can be seen. This insures that all of the grates are clear. Failure to
do this will cause your heating system to stop working and the grates to warp. If the
grates warp slightly, they can be turned over and allowed to straighten out.
