10. Cleaning Convection Blower
(Requires No Lubrication)
• Frequency: See chart on page 21
• By: Homeowner
a. Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool.
b. Remove blower per replacement section instructions.
c. Use a soft brush and vacuum to clean the blower wheel.
12. Soot and Fly-ash: Formation & Need for Removal
in Exhaust Venting System.
• Frequency: See chart on page 21
• By: Qualied Service Technician and/or Homeowner
a. The products of combustion will contain small particles
of y-ash. The y-ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the ow of the ue gases. Incom plete
combustion, such as occurs during startup, shut down, or
incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some
soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting
system.
NOTE: Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal
venting sections.
13. Preparing Firebox for Non-Burn Season
• Frequency: See chart on page 21
• By: Homeowner
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and allow
the appliance to completely cool down.
b. Remove all ash from rebox and vacuum thoroughly.
c. To minimize corrosion, paint all exposed steel, including
cast-iron. Use the Touch-Up paint supplied with the
appliance or purchase paint from your local dealer. You
must use a high-temperature paint made specically for
heating appliances.
d. Cleaning the ue at the end of the burn season will
prevent corrosives to build-up and damage the ue.
D. Soot or Creosote Fire Awareness
The chimney should be inspected periodically during the
heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has
occurred. If a signicant layer of creosote has accumulated
(1/8 inch [3mm] or more) it should be removed to reduce
the risk of chimney re.
Check daily for creosote build-up until experience shows
how often you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the
hotter the re the less creosote is deposited, and weekly
cleaning may be necessary in the mild weather even
though monthly cleaning may be enough in the coldest
months. Contact your local municipal or provincial re
authority for information on how to handle a chimney re.
In the event of a soot or creosote re, close the rebox
door, exit the building immediately and contact the
proper re authorities.
DO NOT under any circumstances re-enter the building.
