NOTE: Chimney Cleaning
When cleaning the chimney system, the catalytic combustor should be removed so this can also be cleaned at the same time following the
guide lines found in this manual.
The bypass should be moved all the way outward so any creosote will fall onto the firebox floor when being cleaned.
We highly recommend that the chimney cleaning be done by a professional as they will have the necessary tools such as a proper sized
brush and special vacuum cleaner designed to deal with fine particles.
IMPORTANT:
Before attempting to loosen or remove any screw, bolt from the interior of a wood stove, insert or factory built fireplace that has had a fire
burned in it, we highly recommend to liberally spray the screw/bolt with a good-quality penetrating oil, one that does not have flammable
properties contained within the penetrating oil being used. Allow it to set, then tap or vibrate the screw or bolt to help loosen it before
attempting to remove it. For best results, follow the instructions that are provided with the penetrating oil.

Annual Maintenance

Annually
Replace any damaged parts.
If unable to obtain a tight seal on the door - replace door gasket seal.
Readjust latch after new gasket installed.
Perform paper test - replace gasket if required
Test the seal on the loading door and bypass door with a paper bill.
Place a paper bill in the gasketed area of the door on a cold stove–close the
door.
Try to remove the paper by pulling.
The paper should not pull out easily; if it does, try adjusting the door latch (load-
ing door only). If that doesn't solve the problem, replace the door gasket, bypass
gasket, or both.
Use only high temperature anti seize lube. (ie. never seize)
Replace if required.
Disconnect power supply.
Remove and clean blower.
*DO NOT LUBRICATE*
Annual professional chimney cleaning recommended.
The thermostat probe that is inserted into the opening above the insert must be
cleaned at least once a year. Use 220 sand paper to clean probe. Access to the
probe can be done in 2 ways.
- by removing the catalyst as this will be exposed once the catalyst is removed.
- by removing the faceplate. However, there must be clearance above the insert
to be able to remove the probe from the top of the insert.
See specific details in this manual.
