Insert Maintenance <br /> The following section details extensive maintenance procedures. We strongly suggest these items be <br /> carried out by a trained service technician, possibly by a service agreement set up with your dealer. <br /> NOTE: Pellet quality may vary by region. The maintenance schedule may need to be revised to <br /> accommodate pellet quality with excessive ash. <br /> /A DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD AND MAKE SURE THE HEATER HAS FULLY COOLED <br /> (APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES) PRIOR TO CONDUCTING SERVICE. <br /> Maintenance Schedule <br /> Weekly Maintenance (or every 5 bags of fuel): <br /> • Inspect Burn <br /> • Clean the fire platform <br /> • Clean the heat exchange tubes <br /> Monthly Maintenance (or every 20 bags of fuel): <br /> • Empty the ashpan <br /> • Clean vertical exhaust ducts <br /> • Clean the glass <br /> Yearly Maintenance (or every ton of fuel): <br /> • Clean firebox liners <br /> • Clean lower exhaust duct <br /> • Clean convection blower <br /> • Clean negative pressure tube <br /> • Clean the vent <br /> • Clean under fire platform <br /> • Adjust door hinge and latch <br /> • Check for air leaks <br /> • Access and Clean Components <br /> • Inspect Fireplace and Chimney <br /> Removing Flyash <br /> This heater was designed to allow for easy flyash removal with the <br /> included tools. However, to ease maintenance, several pellet insert <br /> owners have purchased vacuums specifically made to remove <br /> flyash. Furthermore, some of these vacuums are heat-resistant to <br /> allow for flyash removal while it is still warm. DO NOT USE A <br /> STANDARD VACUUM ON THIS APPLIANCE (except to clean the <br /> pellet dust out of the hopper). Standard vacuums may spread the <br /> fine particles inside the flyash into the home and are not heat- <br /> resistant(hot flyash may cause the internal portion of vacuums to <br /> ignite). <br /> NOTE: Ask your authorized Travis dealer for a recommended ash <br /> vacuum. <br /> Disposal of Ashes <br /> Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be <br /> placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,well away from all combustible materials, pending final <br /> disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,they should be retained in <br /> the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled. <br /> ©Travis Industries 4070806 100-01191000 <br />
