Maintenance Twice Yearly Maintenance Check Firebrick, Baffle With the fireplace completely cool, remove ash from the firebox (see the instructions on the previous page) and check the firebrick and baffle. The baffle should be intact - some warping and flaking is not uncommon. It rests on three tabs at the rear of the firebox and should be pushed all the way back. -
Page 18: Check Door Seal, Adjust If Necessary
Maintenance Check Door Seal, Adjust if Necessary The door latch and door gasket work in conjunction to seal the firebox. If the doors do not seal, air will leak into the firebox and cause the fire to burn too fast. This reduces the ability to burn the fireplace overnight or precisely adjust the burn rate. -

If creosote build-up is over 1/4", the chimney must be thoroughly cleaned. Failure to clean the chimney may lead to a fire. Hint: Chimney cleaning is a very dirty, complicated, and dangerous task. -
