Periodic Checklist
Perform each of these tasks at the specified
intervals.
At the End of Every Week:
Empty ashes from the firebox and ash pan,
sooner if the firebox or the ash pan begin to fill
up.
At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
A visual inspection of the chimney connector
and chimney for creosote is recommended
depending upon the use of your stove. (Please
see page 18-Creosote Formation and Need For
Removal)
Check door seals 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. To tighten the seal,
change the door gasket. (Refer to page 18 –
Gaskets)
At the End of Every Season:
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.
Inspect all door gasket material and replace if
worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
Thermo-Ceramic Baffle System
To enhance the combustion efficiency and reduce
the emissions of the fire in your stove Hearthstone
developed an advanced THERMO-CERAMIC baffle
system. This system uses a lightweight, durable
ceramic material above the burner tubes to maintain
the high temperatures in the secondary combustion
area and maintain the low emission – high efficiency
combustion you desire. This new technology will not
corrode, rust dissolve or lose its strength, however it
is vulnerable to puncture or cracking due to rough
handling.
PLEASE
EXERCISE
WOOD OR CLEANING YOUR STOVE, NOT TO
DAMAGE THE THERMO-CERAMIC BAFFLE
Located directly above the burner tubes in the
firebox, this gray sheet of material will break if wood
or cleaning brushes impact it. Be careful when
loading and cleaning your stove to not break this
material. If this piece has been fractured or a hole is

punctured, it will cause the stove to function
improperly. You must replace the board through a
qualified Hearthstone dealer.
Emergency Procedures
