FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS
INDICATED CAN RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE
AND SAFETY HAZARDS. NEVER CLEAN WHEN HOT.
NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have
not become plugged, if so, clean thoroughly.
ASH REMOVAL
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-
fitting lid. The closed container or ashes should be placed
on a noncombustible surface or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If
ashes are disposed of by soil burial or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
ASH DISPOSAL
The P2700 has an ash bin located below the firebox. To
remove ashes:
a.
Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.
b.
Clean heat exchanger tubes (see “CLEANING” and
Figure 14).
c.
Remove optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove
burn pot by grasping it, and the slider plate, and
pulling straight out. (see Figure 15)
d.
Empty ashes from burn pot. Scrape burn pot with
cleaning tool. Make sure burnpot holes are not
plugged.
e.
Scrape ash in firebox into the under-stove bin
through the opening under the slider plate (see
Figures 15 & 18) or vacuum to remove ashes.
WARNING: Make sure ashes are cool to the touch
be fore using a vacuum.
See “VACUUM USE”.
f.
Periodically remove and empty ash bin (see Figure
18) by pulling on handle below ash lip.
Dispose of ashes properly. (See “ASH REMOVAL”
above)
g.
Replace ash bin.
Replace burn pot and slider plate. Make sure the burn pot
is level and it, and the slider plate, are both pushed all the
way back in when they are reinstalled. If the burn pot is
not reinstalled properly, the Hot Rod will not work properly.
VACUUM USE
If a 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.
