    Cleaning should be done whenever there is more than 1/4 inch of build-up on the heat exchanger or 3 inches of ash in the base. If the wood furnace is to be left unused for an extended period of time (more than one month) then the appliance should be cleaned of all ash and residual left from the burning of wood.
