DAILY MAINTENANCE
BURN POT
Remove and clean the burn pot daily. Make sure
all of the airflow holes in the burn pot are
unobstructed. Using a small metal pick or drill bit
can aid you if these get plugged through general
use. Every time the hopper is filled with fuel, the
burn pot should be emptied.
In order to empty the burn pot, lift it out of the cradle
and dump it directly into the ash pan. Be sure any
build-up is removed when clearing the airflow holes.
See Figure 30
INTERIOR CHAMBER
In addition to the daily maintenance tasks, clean
the interior chamber with an ash vacuum. (Ash
vacuums have a metal canister that is specially
designed to contain soot).
Remove the burn pot from the cradle and vacuum
beneath. Be sure to remove any ash buildup in
and around the igniter tube. See Figure 32
NOTE: When cleaning/vacuuming out the
igniter tube, ensure that the igniter rod does
not get pushed out of position.

CONTINUING MAINTENANCE
EXHAUST & COMBUSTION ASSEMBLY
In addition to the daily and weekly maintenance
tasks, the exhaust venting, and combustion
motor, housing, and impellers should be
inspected and cleaned once per year. See
Figure 34
There is a combustion motor gasket, which
allows you to remove the motor from the housing,
for inspection and cleaning, without having to
remove the entire exhaust fan. However, if you
must remove or replace the entire exhaust fan, a
new blower flange gasket should be added
between the blower flange and the steel plate.
