ERIODIC HECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at the specified intervals.
At the End of Every Week:
•
Empty ashes from the firebox (sooner if the firebox
begins 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 your use of the stove.
•
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
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 Fireplace
Insert.
•
Inspect all door gasket material and replace if worn,
frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
