Chimney Sweeping
Chimney Sweeping needs special tools like some glass fiber
rods and a suitable brush to the chimney's diameter.
It also requires to go up on the roof to remove the chimney cap
and even a part of the chimney in case that your chimney
exceeds 5 feet from the roof.
We recommend to call a Professional chimney Sweeper certified
by APC in Quebec, the WETT in the rest of Canada.
Door maintenance
The door is the mobile element that need a special attention. Its
tightness is primordial. If you see the white soot sticking on the
door glass and on the surface where the air passes, it is the time
to change the braided glass fibre rope.
Air Tighten Adjustment
If the braided glass fiber rope still seems good enough but little
flatten, it needs probably to be stuck against the door.
Door adjustment (hinge side)
Important: To keep squareness of the door, keep the door
locked and loosen only one hinge at a time.
1)
Loosen lightly upper hinge.
2)
Push the door against the stove so that the glass fibre rope
is flattened.
3)
Keeping the door pressed against the stove, tighten the
upper hinge.
4)
Loosen lightly lower hinge.
5)
Push the door against the stove so that the glass fibre rope
is flattened.
6)
Keeping the door pressed against the stove, tighten the
lower hinge.
7)
Open the door and slide a piece of paper in the gap in the
door, then close the door.
8)
If you can easily pull out the paper without tearing, please
repeat the previous steps.
9)
Even after several attempts, if the paper comes off easily,
the braided glass fiber rope must be changed.
Door adjustment (right side)
You can do this adjustment with the screw under the door near
the hook hole.
1)
Unlock and open the door.
2)
With a square-headed screwdriver, turn clockwise the
adjustment screw a quarter turn.
3)
Put a piece of paper between the stove and braided glass
fiber rope, then close and lock the door.
4)
If the paper easily comes out when you pull it, repeat step
1 to 3 again.
5)
If the screw is completely tightened and the paper comes
out easily, you have to change the braided glass fiber rope.
Some models might have two screws apart on the front
face. These must not be unscrewed in any case. They hold
the rolling mechanism to lock the door.

Replacing broken glass
DO NOT HIT THE GLASS TO AVOID BREAKING IT
•
Do not pour water. It might cause thermal shock.
•
Do not slam the door.
•
Do not build fire too close the door.
WARNING: NEVER USE THE STOVE WHEN THE GLASS IS
BROKEN OR CRACKED
Replace only with a 4 mm ceramic glass with the right shape.
Contact your retailer to get the replacement glass panel.
DO NOT USE SUBTITUTE
How to replace glass:
1)
Loosen partially the screws retaining the four glass
supports.
2)
Remove the broken pieces of glass and clean the door.
3)
There must be a flat glass fibre rope for airtightness
around the glass. You have to install new one in case of
loss or damage. The flat glass fiber rope is self-adhesive.
Stick it around the glass without pressing it excessively.
4)
Install the new glass panel and replace the lower support
first and gently tighten screw. If you tighten it too much, it
might make a pressure point and break the glass when it
becomes hot. Then press gently the glass fibre rope
against the door.
5)
Install the upper support and tighten the screws gently but
not too tight.
6)
Check all the screws.
If it is impossible to replace the glass in vertical position, you
may have to remove the door. Refer to the section concerned in
this manual.
