Your wood furnace is a high effi ciency furnace and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform a visual
inspection of the furnace every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no parts have been damaged, in which case repairs must
be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe periodically for creosote buildup or obstructions.
GLASS
•
Inspect and clean the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks. If you spot one, turn the furnace off immediately. Do not
abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the furnace if the glass is broken.
•
If the glass on your furnace breaks, replace only with the glass supplied from your heater dealer. Never substitute other
materials for the glass.
•
To replace the glass, remove the screws retaining the glass mouldings inside the door. Remove the mouldings and replace
the damaged piece with a new one. Perform the procedure backwards after replacing. When replacing the glass, you should
change the glass gasket to make sure you keep it sealed.
•
Never wash the glass with a product that may scratch. Use a specialized product, available in the stores where wood furnaces
are sold. The glass should be washed only when cold.
GASKETING
It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which makes your furnace door air tight) once a year, in order to insure
good control over the combustion, maximum effi ciency and security. To change the door gasket, simply remove the damaged one.
Carefully clean the available gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose and install the new gasket. You
may light up your furnace again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation.
NEVER OPERATE THE FURNACE WITHOUT A GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN ONE. DAMAGE TO THE FURNACE
PAINT
Only clean your furnace with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint fi nish. If the paint becomes scratched or damaged, it is
possible to give your wood furnace a brand new look by repainting it with a 1200° F heat resistant paint. For this purpose, simply
scrub the surface to be repainted with fi ne sand paper, clean it properly, and apply thin coats (2) of paint successively.
