Allow the appliance to completely cool down before
performing any cleaning or maintenance. Start the
first inspection after the first 2 months of use, or if
performance changes, and adjust your schedule
accordingly. Maintenance is required for safe operation
and must be performed to maintain your warranty.
Baffle and blanket placement is critical to heat output,
efficiency and overall life of the appliance. Make sure the baffle
is pushed all of the way to the back of the firebox and the
blanket is laying flat. Inspect baffle for cracks.
Vacuum the blower impellers.
The chimney and chimney cap must be inspected for soot and
creosote every two months during the burn season or more
frequency if chimney exceeds or is under 14-16 ft (4.3m-4.8m)
measured from bottom of appliance.
This will prevent pipe blockage, poor draft, and chimney fires.
Always burn dry wood to help prevent cap blockage and
creosote build-up.
Ashes must be cool before you can dispose of the ashes in a
non-combustible container.
Firebrick is designed to protect your firebox. After ashes are
removed, inspect the firebrick and replace firebricks that are
crumbling, cracked or broken.
Keep door and glass gasket in good shape to maintain good
burn times on a low burn setting. To test: place a dollar bill
between the appliance and door and then shut the door. If you
can pull the dollar out, remove one washer from door handle
behind latch cam and try again. If you can still pull it out,
replace the door gasket.
Check the glass frame for loose screws to prevent air leakage.
Check glass for cracks.
Check the door latch for proper adjustment. This is very
important especially after the door rope has formed to the
appliance face.
Check door handle for smooth cam operation.
