Maintaining & Servicing Your Appliance
A. Quick Reference Maintenance Guide
BAFFLE & BLANKET PLACEMENT
Baffl e and blanket placement is critical to heat out-
put, effi ciency and overall life of the unit. Make sure
the baffl e is pushed all of the way to the back of the
fi rebox and the blanket is laying fl at.
CHIMNEY & CAP INSPECTION
The chimney and chimney
cap must be inspected for
soot and creosote during
the burn season. This will
prevent pipe blockage, poor
draft, and chimney fi res.
Always burn dry wood to
help prevent cap blockage
and creosote build-up.
Start the fi rst inspection of your unit after the
fi rst 2 months of use, or if performance chang-
es, and adjust your schedule accordingly.

INSPECT FIREBRICKS & ASH COVER
(AFTER EACH CLEANING)
Step Top Models Only
Firebrick is designed to protect your fi rebox. Replace
fi rebricks that are crumbling, cracked or broken. If
you have an optional ash door, check to make sure
the door is closing properly.
DOOR & LATCH CHECK
Keeping the door and glass gasket in
good shape will maintain good burn
times on a low burn setting.
Check the glass frame for loose
screws to prevent air leakage.
Check the door latch for proper adjustment. This
is very important especially after the door rope has
formed to the stove face.
Maintenance is required for safe operation
and must be performed to maintain your
warranty.
