3. Firebox
• Frequency:
As necessary / Yearly
• By:
User
Cleaning the firebox and internal heat exchange surfaces is
recommended to maintain thermal efficiency. Depending on
the quality and quantity of fuel being used, you may want to
perform this cleaning monthly.
Be sure to clean these areas thoroughly at the end of the
heating season.
Brush and vacuum all internal surfaces at the end of the
heating season. Ashes will draw moisture and may promote
rust formation.
4. Blower- If installed
• Frequency:
As necessary / Yearly
• By:
User
The fan on the blower will collect debris over time. Any
accumulation must be removed to maintain proper operation.
To clean blower;
•
Disconnect power cord before servicing.
•
Remove the two bolts that hold the blower in place.
•
Use a vacuum and/or brush to remove all dust and pet
hair from the blower wheel.
•
Reinstall the blower and tighten the two bolts securely.
5. Chimney Connector
• Frequency:
As necessary / Yearly
• By:
Qualified Service Technician / User
At the end of the burn season, brush and clean all sections
of chimney connector pipe. Some owners remove the
chimney connector for the off season. Any ashes left in the
connector pipe will actually draw moisture which promotes
rust. This is why it is very important to clean all ashes at the
end of the heating season.
When cleaning the chimney connector above the appliance,
keep the bypass damper in the open position. This will
keep any loosened material from falling into the Firedome
combustion chamber.
6. Chimney
• Frequency:
As necessary / Yearly
• By:
Qualified Service Technician / Chimney Sweep
The entire chimney should be professionally cleaned at
least once yearly. It is best to have this done at the end of
the heating season to be sure all ash is removed. You'll also
want to inspect the condition of the chimney prior to using
the appliance, to be sure there are no bird or animal nests.
