• Visually inspect the ceramic fiberboard in the
firebox for cracks and/or breakage. Slight surface
cracks will not affect the performance of the
board, but a cracked or crumbling board should be
replaced immediately.
• Visually inspect the secondary air tubes for cracks,
warping and corrosion. The secondary air tubes
must be cleaned with a wire brush. If debris
remains in holes lightly tap with a wooden stick to
remove.
YEARLY MAINTENANCE
• Check door gasket for wear and to be certain
they still maintain an airtight seal. See below for
replacement instructions.
• Thoroughly clean the chimney system and the
chimney connector system. Since the chimney
connector is generally exposed to high exhaust
temperatures, inspect it carefully for leaks and
weak spots; replace any questionable pieces. In the
case of straight through the roof chimney system,
be certain to remove the ceramic fiberboard
before pushing the chimney sweeping brush down
into the firebox. Forcefully hitting the top of the
board with a cleaning brush or rod can damage or
destroy the board.
• Remove all ash from the stove.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OR
SERVICE WHILE THE STOVE IS HOT. BEFORE
OPENING THE STOVE DOOR FOR ANY TYPE
OF SERVICE, BE SURE THAT THE STOVE IS
COOL.
WARNING: USE ONLY MANUFACTURER'S
REPLACEMENT PARTS. USE OF ANY OTHER
PARTS COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
CREOSOTE - FORMATION AND NEED FOR
REMOVAL
Failure to remove creosote may result in a dangerous
chimney fire.
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 cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
Single Burn Rate Wood Fire Stove
When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot
fire. The chimney shall be inspected periodically during
the heating season to determine if a creosote build-
up has occurred. The presence in a chimney of soot
or creosote in excess of 3 mm thick will indicate the
need for immediate cleaning, possible modification of
burning procedures, and more frequent
Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and
firing technique. Check daily for creosote build-up until
experience shows how often you need to clean to be
safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the less creosote
is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary
in mild weather even though monthly cleaning may
be enough in the coldest months. Contact your local
municipal or provincial fire authority for information
on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a clearly
understood plan to handle a chimney fire.
REMOVING DAMAGED GASKET
Over time the 3/8" rope sealing gasket along the
door may lose its rigidity. This seal is essential for
providing a seal which allows the stove to operate
safely. It is recommended that you change the door
gasket once a year in order to ensure good control
over the combustion, maximum efficiency and security.
Contact the manufacturer for information on original or
equivalent gasket.
To replace the gasket:
1. Ensure that all coals and fuel are extinguished and
that the stove is cool to the touch.
2. Remove old gasket and clean the gasket gutter
with a high temperature silicone.
3. Press the beginning of the replacement gasket
into the most up and left position of the prepared
gasket gutter.
4. Continue pressing the replacement gasket clockwise
along the gasket gutter until it has wrapped back
to where the gasket was pressed in initially.
5. Trim any excess replacement gasket away ,and press
the remaining butt into the gutter to complete the
seal.
6. You may light up your stove again approximately 24
hours after having completed this operation.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE
WITHOUT A GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN
ONE. DAMAGE TO THE STOVE OR EVEN
HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
