Cleaning the Combustion Blower
To clean the combustion blower, remove the six nuts labeled A in Figure
47 with an 11/32" wrench. After removing these nuts, the motor with
fan attached can be pulled from the fan housing. The fan blades and the
fan housing can be vacuumed once the motor is removed. Before rein-
stalling, vacuum out the blower housing and flue passageway leading to
the combustion blower. When reinstalling the motor, a new gasket may
need to be installed between the motor and the fan housing. To complete
the reinstallation, place the motor back on the fan housing and reinstall
the six nuts. Make sure the motor's green ground wire is secured under
one of the nuts.

Cleaning the Vent Pipe
Soot and Fly-Ash: Formation and Need for Removal
The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly-ash. The
fly-ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of
the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during start-up,
shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some
soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The
exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year
to determine if cleaning is necessary. Sweep the pipe as needed. A tee
and clean-out in the vent system attached to the stove's flue collar will
facilitate this cleaning.
Cleaning the Convection Blower
To clean the convection blower, remove the right side door (see the
following page). Disconnect the stove power cord from the electrical
outlet. Using a 5/32" allen wrench loosen the two screws (A in Figure
48) securing the blower to the blower duct (loosen screws only - do not
remove). Slide the blower to the rear - disengaging it from the blower
duct. A vacuum can be used to remove any dust accumulation on the
blower's blades or inside the blower duct. Caution should be used not to
damage the blower's blades during cleaning. To reinstall the blower, slide
the blower back into the retaining lip (B) and tighten screws (A).
