Inspect all sealing gaskets to ensure a proper seal and
re-install all components removed for cleaning.
Note: The rebox bafes(#1-10-232052)are considered
to be a consumable item. Check for signs of warping
or damage, and replace if necessary.
CAUTION: For your safety, do not vacuum hot ashes
or embers. Some portions will remain hot, long after
shut-down. Wear gloves to protect skin from burns.
CAUTION: Cleaning of the heat exchangers, ue
pipe, chimney, and combustion blower fan, is
especially important at the end of the heating season
to minimize corrosion during the summer months,
caused by accumulated ash.
The tabs go into the slots on the bafe and the latch ips
downward to seal at the angle. Lift the latch and lift the bafe
off of the tabs for removal. Ashes from the heat exchange
tubes can be cleaned from this area. Sliding the rebrick
from one side to the other will allow more space for bafe
removal.

Firebox Bafe Removal
Cleaning
To maintain maximum heating efciency, this
cleaning should be performed weekly during the
burn season. The frequency of this cleaning will be
directly related to the quality and quantity of fuel
being consumed. Keep in mind that the cleaner the heat
exchanger tubes are kept, the higher the heat transfer
efciency will be.
Due to the ease of restarting, it is recommended that
the boiler be turned OFF for an hour before cleaning.
Start by removing the two rebox bafes as shown
above, then reinstall the ash pan. Next, remove the top
heat exchanger cover to expose the heat exchanger
tubes. Vacuum this upper exhaust chamber. Some of
the tubes contain a spiral bafe which you can use as a
cleaning device. Simply work the spiral up and down,
approximately 6 inches, to scrape the inside surface of
the heat exchange tube(s). The removed debris will fall
to the ash pan and on the angled chamber of the rebox.
Once all tubes are cleaned, remove the ash pan and clean
the remainder from the angles.
With a wisp brush, paint brush or a soot vac, clean
the rebox walls and any y ash that has accumulated
in the burnpot, or burnpot opening. At this time you can
scrape and clean the burnpot and nes cleanout area.
