Maintaining Your Appliance 25

Monthly Maintenance (while appliance is in use)

Make sure the appliance has fully cooled prior to conducting service.

Door and Glass Inspection

The door must form an air-tight seal to the firebox for the stove to work correctly. Inspect the door gasket

to make sure it forms an air-tight seal to the firebox.

Severely frayed or thread-bare

gasket should be replaced.

Use RTV high

temperature silicone to

adhere any loose

gasket.

If the glass is damaged,

replace it - see

“Replacement Parts” for

details.

High-Temperature

anti-sieze may be

used on the door

hinges to eliminate

squeaks.

The door latch should pull the door against the face of the stove (but not so tight as to not allow full

handle rotation). If the latch requires adjustment, follow the directions below.

Door Cam Adjustment:

To tighten the door cam, remove the door handle and discard one of the washers

betwen the door frame and cam. To loosen the door cam, add a washer between

the door frame and cam.

Washers

Creosote - Formation and Need for 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 cool 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 and chimney connector should be inspected at least once

every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote

has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

If you are not certain of creosote inspection, contact your dealer or local chimney sweep for a full

inspection. Excess creosote buildup may cause a chimney fire, that may result in property damage,

injury, or death.

Operating this appliance continually at a low burn rate (air starvation) or using green (un-seasoned

wood) will increase the formation of creosote.
