PREVENTIVE MEASURES AND MAINTENANCE
Verify the accumulation of creosote every week that you use the
appliance until you know at which frequency it must be cleaned
(minimum once per year). Remove every creosote deposit in order
to prevent chimney fires.
Cleaning of heat exchanger, vent connector of chimney and
induced draft fan (if applicable) is particularly important at the end
of each winter in order to remove corrosion which was made during
summer and caused by the ash accumulation. It must be in good
condition all the time.
To clean the heat exchanger, remove the bricks placed at the upper
part in the firebox, clean and replace them. Do not remove stainless
steel pipes.
Verify regularly the vent connector, gaskets and sealing materials to
make sure that smoke and gas from the combustion are not
absorbed and conveyed in the air distribution system.
Do not alter or modify the air intakes of the appliance to get a
stronger fire.
To clean the glass, J.A. Roby Inc. recommends to use products for
this purpose or an oven cleaner. Avoid cleaning when the glass is
hot and using abrasive.
Remove the screws that retain the glasses then take away the fragments of
glasses. Verify if the seal cord is damaged and worn out.
If so, replace it by a ½ inch ceramic cord and replace the broken glass by
VITROCERAMIC glass of 4 mm.
Cut the glass edge 3 mm smaller on each side, so that the fiberglass cord can be
slipped on the edge of the glass when installed. Fix the glass with screws.
Contact your retailer to get information you need for the replacement of the glass.
