Cleaning The Catalytic Combustor - Travis Industries LOPI Owner's Manual

Cleaning the Catalytic Combustor

Your combustor is available through an authorized Travis dealer. You can visually check the condition of
your combustor by opening the door and looking above the baffle with a flashlight. If there is visible ash
accumulation on the surface of your combustor it should be cleaned off with a soft bristled brush. If there
is visible creosote buildup (tar substance) on the combustor, burn your stove on high and the creosote
should burn off. If the creosote does not burn off your catalyst needs to be replaced. If the stove emits
excessive smoke on medium and high burns your catalyst may need replacement.
NOTE: Use an ash vacuum with brush attachment to clean the catalytic combustor.
1. With the stove fully cooled, insert the ash vacuum nozzle into the area directly above the door
opening.
2. Carefully place the brush surface of the nozzle over the catalytic combustor openings and remove
any ash or debris. Take care to prevent damage to the catalytic combustor (the surface is fragile).
