If the Appliance is to be Shut Down for a Long Period:

• Remove all excess soot from the boiler by cleaning the Heat Exchanger Tubes,
scraping the sides of the Combustion Chamber, emptying the Ash Pan and
cleaning the flue. If soot is left in the appliance, condensation can form which
could produce acid and corrode the appliance.
• Unbolt the Scrubber Coils and thoroughly scrape the inside surfaces of the Heat
Exchanger Tubes. Many people fabricate a tool to attach to the end of a power
drill for this purpose.
• Leave the Boiler Door open for ventilation.
• Oil hinges.
• Remove all fuel from the Hopper and Coal Feed Screw. Coal can absorb
moisture. The best way to do this is run the appliance until it runs completely
out of coal. Vacuum or wipe as much dust from the hopper as possible.
• Turn the power to the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall.
• Note the system water pressure once the entire system has cooled.
