MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING PROCEDURES
The Bixby Room Heater has been designed to reduce the frequency of cleaning. However, if the simple maintenance
tasks detailed below are not performed - the Room Heater will not run properly and will lead to reduced heating efficiency,
increased operational problems and potential harm to its components. Reading and following the maintenance instructions
will keep the Room Heater running at optimal efficiency and will help to reduce problems over the long run. Many problems
can be solved by simply cleaning the Room Heater. This should be the first step in troubleshooting if the Room Heater is
not working properly.
NOTE:
Keep the area around the Room Heater clean and free of dust and debris.
CAUTION:
Always be sure to allow the Bixby Room Heater to cool and then unplug before any maintenance proce-
dures are performed.
COMPONENTS REQUIRING PERIODIC CLEANING
FIRE POT/BURNER
This device is powered by an electric motor. The automatic
operation serves to clear the ash/deposits from the Fire Pot.
The sidewalls of the fire pot should be brushed monthly with the
included brush to remove deposits. If needed the pot may be
removed and soaked in a bucket of water. To remove the burner,
remove the fuel deflector, remove the top burner plate (handle in
front of the burner), remove the two clips holding the burner in
place and lift out the burner.
Good combustion is dependent on delivering the right amount
of air to the burn pot. Keeping the pot clean and the holes clear
will keep the air flowing to the fuel and reduce fuel related
problems.
ASH DRAWER
This container should be emptied as needed. With the Bixby
Room Heater simply undo the latches, pull the Ash Drawer out
and empty its contents.
CAUTION:
Drawer and contents may be hot.
NOTE:
Return drawer promptly (less than 20 minutes)
after emptying. While the drawer is open,
the Room Heater will not dump the ashes and
could postpone a cycle leading to build up in
the burner pot.
