Included with the owner's pack of this appliance is a can of
Stove-BriteÒ paint. To touch up nicks or dulled paint, apply
the paint while the appliance is cool. Use 120 grit sandpaper
(clean with water and dry with a piece of cloth) if the surface
requires smoothing. Wait at least one hour before starting the
appliance. The touched up area will appear darker than the
surrounding paint until it cures from heat. Curing will give off
some fumes while curing Ð open windows to ventilate the
fumes.

With the appliance cool, check the items below. Remove all ash from the firebox and scrape away any
scale that may have built up on the surface of the firebrick with a wire brush or scraper. If any of the
components need to be replaced, see the sections that follow.
BAFFLE FIREBRICKS
Must not be cracked or have gaps
between them. Cracked bricks must
be replaced. Gaps are eliminated by
pushing the bricks closer together.
SECONDARY AIR TUBES
Must be intact without any cracks.
Scaling and a slight amount of
bending is normal for this component.
FRONT BAFFLE SUPPORT
Must be all the way back against the
baffle firebricks and resting on the
seconary air collars.
SECONDARY AIR TUBE COLLARS
Must have the two push pins inserted into them.
This keeps the secondary air tubes aligned.
Firebrick Removal and Replacement Instructions
With the appliance cool, remove all ash from the firebox. Only the firebrick that is damaged must be
replaced. If the damaged firebrick is on the floor, it can be replaced by simply removing the firebrick in
front of it. NOTE: Do not pry firebrick to remove, this will chip or crack the firebrick. If a
firebrick on the wall of the firebox needs replacement, the floor firebrick near it will need to be removed
first. The wall firebrick is held upright by a clip on the walls of the firebox. To remove, pivot it out
from the bottom. See the illustration on the following page.
