4. The control board. Set the heat setting to #1 for a few seconds and return to the
setting it was on. This initiates the time delay for dropping the clinker.
5. Dropping the coals back into the burn pot. At this time pull the coal rake back out
of the burn pot to drop the coals in the pot. See position of Coal Rake & Pot
Bottom in figure 17 on page 36 for normal operation.
The time delay in the program will allow a smooth transition back to where the Furnace
was burning before the clinker was dropped.
6. Cleaning the Heat exchange tubes. Now you can pull the tube scraper back and
forth a couple of times to keep the tubes clean. If the Tube Scraper feels sticky
and difficult to move, check for the presence of creosote on the tubes. If creosote
is present a damper adjustment may be needed or the Furnace has become
plugged and needs a thorough cleaning. Call Dealer for assistance. To pull the
tube scraper back and forth use the Rod Handle tool shown in Fig. 20 on page 39.
7. Use a dry paper towel to clean the glass. Quickly open the door and wipe the
glass. The rate of burn will determine how often the window needs cleaning.
Prolonged burning at a slow burn rate will result in the need for more frequent
window cleaning. Cooling the Furnace and wiping the window daily with a cloth
or paper towel will normally keep the window from accumulating difficult to
clean residue. Use of a glass cleaner ONLY permitted when the Furnace is cold.
CAUTION: Do not slam the door. Do not operate the Furnace with a broken or cracked
glass. Replace only with heat resistant ceramic glass supplied by the manufacturer.
There are 2 things to keep an eye on during the cleaning process.
1. If the ash pan door or firebox door were left open for more than 90 seconds the
Furnace will go into safety shutdown. You will notice that the Furnace quits augering
fuel into the burn pot. Toggle the On/Off switch off and back on. This will reset the
board. You will need to use the auger button (#3) to manually feed fuel into the pot
for a couple of minutes until the program resumes.
2. If the Furnace has been running for an extended period of time on the #5 setting, the
clinker will sometimes stick to the burn pot. If that happens, pull the coal rake back
out. Open the door and use a long screwdriver and give the clinker a couple nudges in
the pot. (Make sure the burnpot bottom is closed when you do this or you will lose the
coals with the clinker) Then repeat the steps for dropping the clinker.
Remember: The coal rake must be pulled out and the slide bottom pushed in during
normal operation of the Furnace. (See Furnace layout on page 6)
Remember: The fire door and ash pan doors must be in the latched position during
normal operation of the Furnace. (See Furnace layout on page 6)
