fins. It is critical that the  exhaust exits at the back of the
firebox floor (left and right) be thoroughly cleaned. Figure
36.2. There are several ways this can done.
1. Use the crevice tool.
. Attach a hose 1/ inch (1.7mm) in diameter and
approximately  feet (607mm in length to your vacuum
hose.
. Use a bottle brush and push the ash down to the
bottom. Remove the combustion (exhaust) blower
and then vacuum out the ash.
2 exhaust exits (left and right side) must
be thoroughly cleaned. Each exit is
approximately 4 inches wide, 1 inch
across and 3 inches deep.

NOTE It is normal to see a certain amount of wear of
the heat exchanger fins. You may notice some flaking
and pitting on some of the pins. The heat exchanger
system will function as designed with as many as 15 of
these pins missing.
