It has been our experience that most problems are caused by improper installation and operation of the fireplace. Make certain that installation and operation of the fireplace system is in accordance with these instructions. It is extremely important that the fire be supervised when- ever the fireplace is in use. It is also recommended that an annual inspection be performed on the fireplace system to Ceramic Blanket and Baffle Board are NOT in determine if the flue system needs to be cleaned, or as in contact with the back of the firebox. the case of any appliance, if minor repairs are required to maintain the system in top operating condition.

    Maintenance and Servicing the Fireplace A. General Maintenance 1. Creosote (Chimney) Cleaning Frequency: As necessary; at least annually before lighting stove, or once every 2 months during heating season. Formation and Need For Removal: When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a newly-started or a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote creates an extremely hot fire Remove screws, which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house. The lift top cover.

    2. Firebrick Replacement The firebox of your fireplace is lined with high quality firebrick, which has exceptional insulating properties. There is no need to use a grate; simply build a fire on the firebox floor. Do not operate the fireplace without bricks. IMPORTANT: The bricks are very similar in size. Be certain you have the proper brick in the correct location. Measure the brick size for accuracy. After the coals are completely cooled, remove all old firebrick and ash from unit and vacuum out firebox. 1. Remove new brick set from box and lay out to diagram Figure 4.3 Fire Brick Configurations as shown in Figures 4.3 & 4.4. 2. Lay bottom bricks in unit. 3. Install rear bricks on the top of the bottom bricks. Slide top of bricks under clip on back of firebox wall and push bottom of brick back.
