cool, then inspect the chimney for damage. If no damage results, perform a chimney cleaning to ensure there is
no more creosote deposits remaining in the chimney.
ASH DISPOSAL
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your firebox or ash pan, and when the fire has burned down and
cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the firebox bottom to help
maintain a hot charcoal bed. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed
• Ashes could contain hot embers even after two days without operating the stove.
• The ash pan can become very hot. Wear gloves to prevent injury.
• Never burn the stove with the ash trap open. This would result in over firing the stove. Damage to the stove
and even house fire may result.
container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when
exposed to elevated concentrations for extended periods of time. While the modern combustion systems in
heaters drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or confined
areas can be dangerous. Make sure your stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order and sealing
properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and CO monitors in areas
having the potential to generate CO.
MAINTENANCE
Your wood stove is a high efficiency stove and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform
a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no parts have been damaged,
in which case repairs must be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe
periodically for creosote build-up or obstructions.
GASKETING
This unit's door uses a 1po diameter rope gasket. It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which
makes your stove door air tight) once a year, in order to insure good control over the combustion, maximum
efficiency and security. To change the door gasket, simply remove the damaged one. Carefully clean the
available gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose, and install the new gasket. You
may light up your stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation.
PAINT
Only clean your stove with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint finish. If the paint becomes scratched or
damaged, it is possible to give your wood stove a brand new look, by repainting it with a 1200° F heat resistant
paint. For this purpose, simply scrub the surface to be repainted with fine sand paper, clean it properly, and apply
thin coats (2) of paint successively.
Never operate the stove without a gasket or with a broken one
Damage to the stove or even house fire may result
