Clean And Inspect Vacuum Tube; Clean The Firebox, Liners And Burn Platform - Travis Industries Deerfield Service & Troubleshooting Manual

Clean and Inspect Vacuum Tube

The vacuum tube is communicates the negative pressure of the exhaust blower to the pressure switch. An obstruction
of tube, the barbed nipple that connects the tube to the exhaust housing or a cracked tube can cause the flow switch
not to function properly.
1. Remove the left side panel (Foxfire) or the rear panel (Deerfield) to gain access to the flow switch.
2. Remove the Vacuum tube from the stitch and blow compressed air through the hose back toward the exhaust
housing.
NOTE: DO NOT blow air into the flow switch. The switch runs on very small amounts of pressure, blowing air
or using compressed air can damage the diaphragm.
3. Remove the vacuum tube from the barbed nipple on the exhaust housing.
4. Use a crescent wrench or box wrench to remove the barbed nipple and clean any debris out of the interior
portion.

Clean the firebox, liners and burn platform

The firebox, ashpan, liners, and burn platform will likely be one of the dirtiest parts of the system. Cleaning this portion
of the appliance stirs up a lot of dust and you will need to pull dirty components out of the firebox so use plenty of drop
cloths. Brush soot off the firebox components before completely removing them from the firebox in order to help
contain dust
.
NOTE: We recommend keeping an ash vacuum running and put the hose right at the door to the firebox while
performing cleaning in the firebox area. This will help control the dust while cleaning
