Check gasketing for wear or compression, and replace if necessary.
Check the glass for cracking; replace if needed.
Check door and handles for tightness. Adjust if needed.

3.4 Leaving the stove for extended periods

Important:
If the stove is to be left unused for any period of time, clean it out thoroughly and leave the spinner
slightly open to allow airflow. Make sure that the flue does not allow rainwater to come anywhere
near the stove; install a chimney cap, but do not block off the flue completely.
These measures should ensure there is a slight movement of air through the stove, and that
the body of the stove remains dry, right into the corners.
Any ash left within an unfired stove can attract moisture like blotting paper. If moisture is al-
lowed to settle within the stove, rust will form. Rust expands as it takes a grip. This can lead
to undue pressure on the stove joints, and this in turn may result in damage to the stove.
NOTE: It is best to thoroughly clean the stove after the heating season has concluded. Add-
ing a dessicant, such as kitter litter, into the ash pan helps absorb moisture during the sum-
mer months. Be sure to remove this prior to the heating season.
