Routine Maintenance - Whitfield II-T C FS Installating And Operation Manual

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Inspect your stove or insert at minimum frequency stated until you establish a minimum frequency required for your
installation (frequency will vary depending upon fuel BTU value / ash content, usage, and misc. installation vari-
ables).
ROUTINE CLEANING
Stove will need to be shut off and cooled enough to han-
dle before routine cleaning is performed. All ash removal
and cleaning should be done while stove is cold. Always
disconnect power before doing any routine cleaning.
Proper Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fit-
ting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible 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 dis-
persed, they should be retained in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
The following areas need to be inspected during Routine
Cleaning:
TM
•
UltraGrate
•
Ash Pan
•
Ash Trap and Baffles
•
Heat Exchange Tubes

The UltraGrate should be inspected periodically to assure
that the air holes have not become clogged with ash or
TM
clinkers. The UltraGrate
grate scraper tool, or it can be removed for cleaning. It is
very important to monitor the ash build up under the Ultra-
TM
Grate , as excessive amounts of ash will block combus-
tion air from entering the UltraGrate
TM
pile-up in the UltraGrate . The ash build-up under the Ul-
TM
traGrate is easily dumped into the ash pan by pulling out
the ash slide weekly as shown below. The UltraGrate
cleaning procedure is the same for all models.
