Gasket
It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to
maintain a good seal.
1.
Remove the door and place it face-down on
something soft like a cushion of rags or a
piece of carpet.
2.
Remove the old gasket from the door. Use
a screwdriver to scrape the old gasket
adhesive from the door gasket groove.
3.
Apply a bead of approximately 5 mm of
high temperature silicone in the door gasket
groove. Starting from the middle, hinges
side, press the gasket into the groove.
The gasket must not be stretched during
installation.
4.
Leave about ½" long of gasket when cutting
and press the end into the groove. Tuck any
loose fibers under the gasket and into the
silicone.
5.
Close the door. Do not use the insert for 24
hours.

Exhaust System
Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney, forming a inflammable deposit called creosote.
If creosote builds up in the system, it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the stove. A very
hot fire can progress to the top of the chimney. Severe chimney fires can damage even the best
chimneys. Smouldering, smoky fires can quickly cause a thick layer of creosote to form. When
the stove is operated properly, the exhaust from the chimney is mostly clear and creosote builds
up more slowly.
«Creosote - Formation and Need to Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cooler
chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue
lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.
If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3mm or more) it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire.»

Frequency
It is not possible to predict how much or how quickly creosote will form in the chimney. It is
