C. General Maintenance and Cleaning
1. Types of Fuel
The type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you
have to clean your re pot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content, it
may be necessary to clean the re pot more than once a
day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the repot
(Figure 18.1). A clinker is formed when dirt, ash or a
non-burnable substance is heated to 2000°F (1093°C)
and becomes glass-like. See High Ash Fuel Content
Maintenance on page 22 for more details on di󰀨erent types
of fuels.

NOTE: If you are just cleaning the re pot, there is no
need to unplug the insert.
3. Ash Removal from Firebox
• Frequency: Every 5 bags or weekly or more frequently
depending on ash build-up.
• By: Homeowner
a. There must not be any hot ashes in the rebox during
cleaning so allow the appliance to completely cool.
The rebox ash should be removed every time the
exhaust path is cleaned. Frequent cleaning of the
ash in the rebox will help slow down the build-up of
ash in the exhaust blower and vent system.
b. Plug in your appliance, if unplugged, and turn the
thermostat on and immediately shut it o󰀨 to start the
exhaust blower on its cycle time. It will pull y ash out
the exhaust instead of into the room.
c. Open door. Remove ash with an ash vacuum or whisk
broom and small dust pan.
d. This ash is deposited in the same ash pan as the re
pot debris. The ash pan should be emptied every time
you clean the rebox. Remember to place the ash
and debris into a metal or noncombustible container.
e. The cleaning rods must be fully closed when cleaning
is complete; see Disposal of Ashes on page 19.
4. Cleaning Ash Pan
• Frequency: Weekly or every 5 bags of fuel
• By: Homeowner
Empty into a non-combustible container and re-install ash
pan; see Disposal of Ashes on page 19.
b. Pull re pot cleaning rod OUT a couple of times to
help shake debris loose. If rod is hard to pull, it may
be necessary to use your re pot clean-out tool to
chip away material that has built up on the bottom
plate of the re pot and to push out any clinkers.
Larger clinkers may have to be removed from the top
of the re pot.
c. The re pot oor plate must be fully closed when
nished (Figure 18.2).
2. Cleaning Fire pot with Cleaning Rod & Fire pot
Scraper
• Frequency: Daily or more often as needed
• By: Homeowner
a. The appliance must be in complete shutdown and
cool and the exhaust blower o󰀨.
