Maintaining Your Appliance 23

Yearly Maintenance

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

Touch-Up Paint

Included with the owner's pack of this appliance is a can of Stove-Brite®

paint. To touch up nicks or dulled paint, apply the paint while the appliance is

cool. Sand rusted or damaged areas before preparation (use 120-grit

sandpaper). Clean and dry the area to prepare the surface. 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 – open windows to ventilate.

Cleaning the Air Duct and Blower (if applicable)

Use a vacuum to clean the air ducts (channels). This prevents dust from burning and creating odors.

The optional blower should be vacuumed every year to remove any buildup of dust, lint, etc.

Firebrick and Baffle Inspection

Use the illustration on page 25 as a reference for checking the following items. Make sure the appliance

is cool before proceeding.

Baffle Firebricks

- check the bricks along the ceiling of the firebox to make sure they are intact and have

no gaps between them. Slide the bricks to eliminate any gaps.

Baffle Supports

- make sure the front and back baffle supports in are place and not degraded. Slight

scaling or rusting of the metal is normal.

Secondary Air Tubes

- Check the air tubes and collars to make sure they are intact and not severely

deteriorated. Slight scaling or rusting of the metal is normal. Make sure the pins hold the air tubes in

place.

Floor and Wall Firebricks

- replace any severely damaged firebrick along the side or floor of the firebox.

Touch-Up

Paint

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any

buildup on the screens of the blower.
