Never Use gasoline type fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or other liquid fuels or

ERIODIC HECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at the specified
intervals. (While these are to be used as a rule
of thumb, Hearthstone recommends that a
qualified service technician should inspect your
wood burning system approximately every other
month during the heavy use season)
Every Week:
•
Empty ashes from the firebox and ash pan,
sooner if the firebox is full.
Every Month:
•
Visually inspect chimney connector and
chimney for creosote; clean accordingly.
Tap the outside of the pipe to feel for
buildup of creosote. If the pipe feels
hollow, your pipe is most likely clean
and safe for use. If the pipe feels solid
or full, it is probably full of creosote and
should be cleaned before further use.
Every Other Month:
•
A visual inspection
connector and chimney for creosote is
recommended depending upon your use of
the stove.
•
Check the fuel loading door seal using the
"dollar bill test." (When the fire is out and
the stove is cool, shut the door on a dollar
bill. If the bill pulls out without any
resistance, then your stove's door isn't
sealed properly.)
change the door gasket.
Every Season:
Have a qualified service technician inspect your
chimney and wood burning system.
•
Dismantle the chimney connector and clean
it thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show
signs of rust or deterioration.
•
Inspect and, if necessary, clean your
chimney.
•
Thoroughly clean out the inside of the stove.
