Clean fire chamber weekly.
Your corn stove should be shut down and cleaned out weekly. Pull the scraper rod in and out to clean the heat exchanger pipes. Pull
out the closures located just above the ash drawer and push ash down into the ash drawer. Remove the fire pot and make sure all holes
are clear. Clean the tumbler.
Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
Check/Clean exhaust piping weekly.
Soot and Fly Ash: Formation and Need for Removal - The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash
will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during
startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting
system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every week to determine if cleaning is necessary.
