Maintenance - A-Maize-Ing Heat NRP620-10 Owner's Manual

Daily
1.
Pull heat exchanger tube scraper all the way out and push back in, this maintains the efficiency
by removing ash from heat exchanger tubes.
2.
Confirm that seals are in good condition.
3.
Inspect burner pot. Check that the level of fuel in the burn pot is maintained for proper
combustion and minimal emissions. Clinkers will be pushed out of the top of the burner pot as
fuel is augured into the burner pot. Clinkers that appear to be stuck to the side of the burner
should be wiggled loose. Large clinkers that may appear, must be manually pushed over the
top of the burner with a furnace poker or equivalent tool.
4.
Check the fuel level in holding bin. Refill as necessary to maintain adequate supply. Lack of
fuel in the fuel feed system can cause smoke to be emitted. Do not to store fuel within the
appliance installation clearances or within the space required for refueling or ash removal,
5.
Check daily for creosote buildup until experience shows how often cleaning is necessary.
6.
Inspect flue pipes, joints, and seals regularly to ensure that smoke and flue gases are not
drawing into, and circulated by the air-circulation system.
Weekly
1. Check contents of ash drawer and empty as needed. Check the ash drawer more frequently
during periods of high use. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by
burial in soil or otherwise locally disbursed, they should be retained in the closed container until
all clinkers/embers have thoroughly cooled.
2. Remove door on rear of furnace and inspect air filter. Replace if necessary.
Monthly
1. Replace air filter.
2. When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue
lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney connector and
chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if a
creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the
risk of a chimney fire.
3. Check the fire box access door gasket for visible leaks of smoke or ash. Replace as necessary
with 1" fiberglass rope gasket and hi temp silicone approved for wood burning appliances.
