Clean the Venting System

1. Inspect the venting system prior to performing any cleaning. Check for loose or unsealed joints to help ensure
that dust does not escape when the venting is being swept down. Make note of caps on cleanout tees.
2. Go to the termination of the vent system and remove the cap. Clean the cap thoroughly. This part of the
system accumulates a lot of soot because it is the coldest part of the vent system.
3. Use a properly sized pellet brush for the vent and sweep the pipe all the way down to the cleanout tee.
4. Remove the cap on the cleanout tee and vacuum the debris out of the pipe. Replace the cap and reseal with
aluminum tape.
5. Clean horizontal sections of pipe back to the stove.

Clean convection blowers

Cleaning the convection blowers improves their ability to move air efficiently. Cleaning the blowers helps move more heat into the
house, prolongs the life of the blower, and keeps the area that contains other electronic components cooler during operation.
1. Use a brush to remove debris from the impellers of the blower. Use one hand to keep the impeller from turning while
brushing the scooped area of the impeller blades.
NOTE: Handle the impellers gently. If an impeller becomes bent or damaged, it will no longer be balanced and will cause
noise during operation and will need to be replaced.
2. Vacuum the blower area and the blower motor. Removing debris from the motor will allow the blower to run cooler.
