3. If the element is in good condition and clean, re-in-
stall it in the stove and replace the refractory inner
fireback and access door.
Operate the stove in your usual manner for two weeks,
inspecting the chimney and the chimney connector
frequently during this period.
If creosote does not build up as fast, it is likely that the
performance change was caused by fly ash deposits
on the catalytic element. However, continue the inspec-
tions of the chimney system for a few weeks to ensure
that proper performance continues.
If you continue to find a significant creosote buildup or if
you continue to see excessive smoke from the chimney,
the catalytic element will need to be replaced. Contact
your nearest Vermont Castings' Authorized Dealer for
information about a replacement element.
NoTe: Use only the replacement catalyst supplied by a
Vermont Castings dealer.
