Chimney Cleaning
When cleaning the chimney system the air tubes, baffles should be removed for ease of cleaning. See manual for details on removal.
The bypass should be moved all the way outward so any creosote will fall onto the firebox floor when being cleaned.
Alternatively, the catalyst may be removed so this can also be cleaned at the same time following the guide lines found in this manual.
We highly recommend that the chimney cleaning be done by a professional as they will have the necessary tools such as a proper sized brush and special
vacuum cleaner designed to deal with fine particles.
IMPORTANT
Before attempting to loosen or remove any screw/bolt from the interior of a wood stove, insert or factory built fireplace, we highly
recommend to liberally spray the screw/bolt with a good-quality penetrating oil, one that does not have flammable properties contained
within the penetrating oil being used. Allow it to set, then tap or vibrate the screw/bolt to help loosen it before attempting to remove it.
For best results, follow the instructions that are provided with the penetrating oil.
4. Grasp front secondary air tube firmly with vise grips, using a hammer tap
vise grips from right to left until air tube is released from grip. Remove.

Place a paper bill in the gasket area of the door on a cold stove.

The paper should not pull out easily, if it does, try adjusting the door latch, if that doesn't solve the
problem replace the door gasket.

*DO NOT LUBRICATE*
Annual professional chimney cleaning recommended.
The thermostat probe that is inserted into the opening above the insert must be cleaned at least once
a year. Use 220 sand paper to clean probe. Access to the probe can be done in 2 ways.
- by removing the catalyst as this will be exposed once the catalyst is removed.
- by removing the faceplate. However, there must be clearance above the insert to be able to remove
the probe from the top of the insert.
See specific details in this manual.
