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.

Touch-Up

P a i n t

Cleaning the Air Duct and Blower

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

The blower (including blades) should be vacuumed every year to remove any buildup of dust, lint, etc.

Remove the face. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any debris or dust in the convection chamber or near the blower (WARNING: do not touch the blower blades).

Firebrick and Baffle Inspection

Use the illustration on page 29 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 two 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.
