Glass Cleaning; Inspect Firebrick - Quadra-Fire VOYAGEUR-MBK Owner's Manual

E. Glass Cleaning
• Frequency: As desired
• By: Homeowner
• Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive
cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack.
• If the deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal
glass cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be
removed by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or
by using a commercially available oven cleaner.
• After using an oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any
residue with a glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven
cleaner left on during the next firing can permanently stain
the glass and damage the finish on plated metal surfaces.
• A portion of the combustion air entering the firebox is de-
flected down over the inside of the door glass.
• This air flow "washes" the glass, helping to keep smoke
from adhering to its surface.
• When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be flowing
over the glass and the smoky, relatively cool condition of
a low fire will cause the glass to become coated.
• Operating the appliance with the Burn Rate Air Control
and Start-Up Air Control all the way open for 15-20 min-
utes should remove the built up coating.
CAUTION! Handle glass assembly with care. Glass is
.
breakable
• Avoid striking, scratching or slamming glass
• Avoid abrasive cleaners
• Do not clean glass while it is hot

F. Inspect Firebrick
• Frequency: After each ash removal
• By: Homeowner
Replace the firebrick if they become crumbly and/or if there
is a 1/4 inch (6.35mm) gap between the bricks.
The firebox is lined with firebrick, which has exceptional in-
sulating properties. Do not use a grate; simply build a fire on
the firebox floor. Do not operate appliance without firebrick.
1. After the coals have completely cooled, remove all old
brick and ash from unit and vacuum firebox.
2. Remove new brick set from box and lay out to the diagram
shown in the instructions that come with the brick set or
refer to the diagram on the service parts list at the end
of this manual.
3. Lay bottom bricks in unit.
4. 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 bricks back.
5. Install side bricks. Slide top of brick under clips on side
of firebox and push the bottom of the brick until it is flush
with the side of the unit.
Use part 832-0550 when ordering individual brick. Provide brick
dimension or copy the page in the service parts list, mark the
desired brick and take it to your authorized dealer.
