I found that there was nothing to it...just take off the vent cover and put the end of the hose tight against the fridge exhaust. As I said...I got lots of soot out.

Hey Bruce-
I haven't tried that but I plan on making a setup to do it. I pulled the
fridge out last October (just after i got it) when it wasn't working at all.
At that time I found the burner completely plugged. I cleaned the burner.
The flue I cleaned with a brush i have for the propane fridge in my house.
Yes, I live with these things full time! What a joy. These units should be
cleaned at least once a year --twice if you use them alot so having a system
to clean it without taking it out is a good thing. I can't understand why
Norcold designed this fridge with no access to clean out the burner box. The
obvious problem with cleaning out the flue without access to the burner is
soot getting inthe burner. I have the feeling that Winnabago browbeat them
into this design. If you don't do this for us we will go to Dometic. I'm
sure that Norcold doesn't like to deal with the inherent problems of this
design and wish that all eurovans would go away or that we change to other
fridges. I guess we're all out of warranty now. So If you do use the vacuum
method be sure your shop vac is working well.
