Compressed Air for Harmon P61

[frankie]

To clean the air path for the burn pot is it ok to blow air into the underneath of the burn pot where the igniter is?

Don't see why not as long as the igniter is not active (put in test mode or better yet, unplug the stove). Also want to make sure to give it a couple of minutes to dry before trying to start up the stove again. Compressed air comes out cold so it produces condensation. Blew a computer power supply because I thought I had unplugged the computer before blowing out dust and pet hair - but hadn't.

I do use compressed air for the blower motors to clear any dust/pet hair on occasion.

Do it all time. Just unplug as mentioned before.

So you are blowing air in the bottom of burn pot under igniter. How about blowing air in the back where the flapper is. Is that the same thing in reverse?
Thanks

I would think the leaf blower trick would do the same thing, with less potential mess.

I use a compressor, it gets the Igniter cleaner.
Also blow out the air was slot, that can get really plugged!
