Ash Auger Tube
Principles
The ash auger tube is a six inch diameter tube that extends from the rear of the ash pan
on the X-Series, to approximately four inches past the cladding of the HEATMOR™. This
extension allows placing a container under the tube to catch the ashes.
Ash Auger Tube Cover Plate
Principles
The auger tube cover plate is a round plate that is secured onto the end of the ash auger
tube, creating an airtight seal.
X-Series Operation
1. When removing ashes, always turn off combustion air blower and disconnect power.
2. Remove the two thumb nuts.
3. Insert the ash auger and remove the ashes.
4. Replace the ash auger tube cover plate and securely tighten the two thumb nuts.
Creosote
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool
chimney ue of a slow burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue
lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot re.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the
heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.
Also check daily for creosote buildup until experience shows how often cleaning is
necessary.
Be aware that the hotter the re, the less creosote is deposited, and that weekly cleanings
can be necessary in mild weather, even though monthly cleanings can be enough in the
coldest months.
If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re.
Do not connect this unit to the chimney ue serving another appliance.
