edge and corners for leaks. Any leaks or cracks found should be repaired with fire cement
or damaged parts should be replaced with genuine spare parts.
4. Check that fireplace insert door is tight and well sealed when closed. Place a strip of paper
into the fireplace insert and close the door, try to pull out paper. You should feel some
resistance to your pull; check several points around the door. If it pulls out too easily,
replace the rope and seal in place with a suitable high temperature sealant.
Care of glass
At times, especially when the air controls are turned to low settings or when damp wood is used,
the fireplace insert glass will blacken. This is caused by fuel that is not completely burnt, but the
build-up on the inside of the glass will normally burn off when a good hot fire is established in
the fireplace insert.
There may be times however when you need to clean the glass. To do this, use a soft cloth and
a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Only ever clean the glass when the fireplace insert is cold. When
loading fuel into the fireplace insert, always make sure it is not protruding out through the door
opening, as this may break the glass when you close the door. This is especially relevant when
loading logs. Always close the door gently.
Do not operate with broken or cracked glass. If the glass does crack when the fireplace insert is
lit, let the fire die out. Do not open the door until the fireplace insert has fully cooled. Replace the
glass only with the specified replacement part before re-using the fireplace insert.
Replacement of glass
1
Remove the door from the fireplace insert and place on a flat surface.
2
Carefully remove all of the glass clips from the inside of the door.
3
Gently remove the glass panel and gasket.
4
Using a wire brush, remove all remaining debris from the glass area.
5
Apply a small bead of gasket/stove cement and the new gasket. Do not overlap the
ends of the gasket rope.
6
Center the new glass panel over the gasket to reinstall the glass clips.
7
It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after the fireplace insert has be burned
and the gasket has been seated.
Important: 1. It is extremely important to tighten the glass clips slowly and in an alternating
pattern.
2. Always wear protective gloves when you handle glass with sharp edges.
