Cleaning the Combustion Blower
To clean the combustion blower, unplug the insert from the power source
and remove the six nuts labeled A in the drawing to the right with an
11/32” wrench. After removing these nuts, the motor with fan attached
can be pulled from the fan housing. The fan blades and the fan housing
can be vacuumed once the motor is removed. When reinstalling the mo-
tor, a new gasket may need to be installed between the motor and the fan
housing. To complete the reinstallation, place the motor back on the fan
housing and reinstall the six nuts. Make sure the motor’s green ground
wire is secured under one of the nuts.
Cleaning the Vent Pipe
Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal
The products of combustion will contain small particles of flyash. The
flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of
the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during start-up,
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 year to determine
if cleaning is necessary. Sweep the pipe as needed.
The insert has a clean-out box to which the flue pipe or flex pipe is at-
tached. To access the clean-out box, remove the right side surround panel
and right door. Figure 37 shows the box in the upright position attached
to the flue fan. Figure 38 shows the box from the bottom, revealing the
latch securing the box door. Pull the latch down to open the box. When
the ash is cold, use a vacuum cleaner to remove the ash from the box.
Refasten the box door by rotating the latch handle up.

Removing the Ash from the Firebox
CAUTION: Do not remove the ash when the insert or ash is hot.
To remove the ash, swing open the left and right side doors and
open the front door. Vacuum or scoop out the ash on the bottom
and side of the firebox.
CAUTION: Disposal of ashes should be placed in a metal con-
tainer with a tight fitting lid. The closed container should be
placed on a non-combustible floor or the ground, well away from
all combustibles 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 been thoroughly cooled.
