Vacuum Use; Cleaning - Bosca SPIRIT 500 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

OWNER´S MANUAL

VACUUM USE

If vacuum is used to clean your unit, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ashes.
(We recommend LoveLess Ash Vac, 1-800-568-3949 Ext. #27)
Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room. Your vacuum or shop vac may
have a special filter or bag available to eliminate this leakage.

CLEANING

Heat Exchanger Tubes: Your Bosca SPIRIT 500 Pellet Stove is
designed with a built-in heat exchange tube cleaner. The cleaner
rod is located in the grill above the stove door.This should be
used every two or three days to remove accumulated ash on the
tubes, which reduced heat transfer on the stove. Lift from top
lid above grill to locate heat exchanger cleaning rod. Insert the
handle of the cleaning tool onto the cleaning rod.
Move the cleaner rod back and forth several times
to clean the heat exchanger tubes. Be sure to leave tube
cleaner at the rear of the stove (refer to figure 20).
Interior Chambers: Two doors in the firebox shaped like
r a i n d r o p s c a n b e o p e n e d f o r p e r i o d i c c l e a n i n g
(refer to figure 21).These doors allow access to the
chamber surrounding the firebox.
Periodically, you must vacuum ashes from this chamber.
In some cases you will need to remove creosote, which can
accumulate rapidly under certain conditions. A small
wire brush can be used. It is important to remove this
creosote because it is highly combustible.
INSPECT BEHIND THESE CLEANING PLATES AT LEAST ONCE PER TON OF PELLETS
BURNED UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW ASHES AND CREOSOTE
ACCUMULATE WITH YOUR OPERATING PRACTICES.
Use the small wire brush to also clean the inside of the chamber walls, above the access doors.
