3 Maintenance and Service

A. Disposal of Ashes

•Frequency: When ash is within 1-3/4 inch (44mm) of firebox lip. Leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6-13mm) of ash in the bottom of the firebox.

•By: Homeowner

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot embers.

•Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.

•The closed container should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

•If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled

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 shall be inspected every two months during the heating season to determine when a creosote buildup has occurred.

•When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

B.Chimney and Chimney Connector Inspection/Cleaning

•Frequency: Every 2 months during heating season or as recommended by a certified chimney sweep; more frequently if chimney exceeds or is under 14-16 feet (4.3 to 4.8m) measured from bottom of appliance.

•By: Certified chimney sweep

•Remove all ash from the firebox and extinguish all hot embers before disposal.

•Allow the appliance to cool completely.

•If your type of installation involves a full reline of the chimney, it will be necessary to either remove the baffle from the insert, or remove the insert from the fireplace and disconnect the vent prior to cleaning the chimney. Refer to page 22 in this manual for instructions on Baffle Removal.

•If your type of installation is direct connect within a masonry chimney, the insert will need to be pulled out from the fireplace and disconnected from the flue prior to cleaning the chimney.

•The creosote or soot should be removed with a brush specifically designed for the type of chimney in use.

•Clean out fallen ashes from the firebox.

•It is also recommended that before each heating season the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and repaired if necessary.

WARNING! Risk of Fire!

Do not use chimney cleaners or flame colorants in your appliance. It will corrode your pipe.

C.Appliance Inspection - Routine

•Frequency: Every 2 months at the same time the chim- ney and chimney connector are inspected.

•By: Homeowner

Check for:

•Cracks in glass

•Door handle - smooth cam operation

•Baffle and ceramic blanket correct placement

•Baffle for warpage

•Firebrick for cracks, broken or crumbly

•Door gasket. (Dollar bill test). Place a dollar bill between the stove and the door and then shut the door. If you can pull the dollar bill out, replace the door gasket.

•Glass frame for loose screws

D. Cleaning Plated Surfaces

•Frequency: As desired

•By: Homeowner

•Clean all the fingerprints and oils from plated surfaces BEFORE firing the appliance for the first time.

•If not cleaned properly before lighting your first fire, the oils can cause permanent markings on the plating.

•After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the finish and little maintenance is required.

•Wipe clean as needed.

CAUTION! Do not use polishes with abrasives. It will scratch plated surfaces.
