Normally
the catalytic combustor requires little or no maintenance because it generates
such high temperatures, it is basically self-cleaning. However, should the
combustor become masked with soot or creosote, it is possible to burn the
accumulation off by opening the bypass and building a hot fire. Once the hot
fire is created, close the bypass halfway and burn for 30 to 60 minutes with
the bypass left in this position.
Never
use cleaning solvents to clean the combustor. It would be wise to check and
clean the combustor, if necessary, before each burning season and inspect the
flue system for any signs of creosote buildup.
A clean
flue helps prevent chimney flue fires.
