Cleaning Heat Exchanger & Drop Tube (cont.)
Tools Needed: A Shop Vacuum and generic micro cleaning
kit; at head screwdriver; bottle brush, ½” ID hose.
a. It is necessary to remove the bafe to gain access to
the heat exchanger (Figure 23.2). Follow instructions
for bafe removal on page 26, gure 26.2.
b. Vacuum the ash from the heat exchanger with an
upholstery brush to remove the majority of the ash. Be
sure to vacuum the back of the bafe also. Inspect the
drop tube and remove any residue build-up in the drop
tube (Figure 23.3).
c. Assemble the crevice tool from the micro cleaning kit to
attach to a Shop Vac (Figure 23.4).
d. Use the crevice tool to nish cleaning the heat
exchanger ns. It is critical that the 2 exhaust exits
at the back of the rebox oor (left and right) be
thoroughly cleaned (Figure 23.2). There are several
ways this can be done:
1. Use the crevice tool.
2. Attach a hose 1/2 inch (12.7mm) inside diameter
and approximately 2 feet (607mm) in length to your
vacuum hose.
3. Use a bottle brush and push the ash down to the
bottom. Remove the combustion (exhaust) blower
and then vacuum out the ash.
