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 a vacuum cleaner to remove any

buildup on the screens of the blower.

Use the illustration on page 33 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 push pins hold the air tubes in place.

Floor and Wall Firebricks - replace any severely damaged firebrick along the side or floor of the firebox.

790, 745 specifications

Avalon Stoves has made a name for itself in the realm of high-efficiency wood stoves, and the Avalon 745 and Avalon 790 models stand out as exceptional choices for homeowners looking to heat their spaces sustainably and effectively. These units are designed with a focus on performance, aesthetics, and user-friendliness, making them ideal for both new installations and replacements.

One of the main features of the Avalon 745 is its unique design that accommodates larger logs while maintaining an efficient burn. With a firebox capacity of 3.4 cubic feet, this stove can hold logs up to 18 inches in length, allowing for longer burn times and reduced wood handling. The 790 model, on the other hand, offers an even larger capacity, making it suited for heating larger spaces or for users who prefer fewer reloads. Both models feature a top-loading design that simplifies the process of adding fuel.

In terms of technology, Avalon stoves employ a range of advanced features to optimize heating output. One key aspect is the secondary combustion system, which enhances efficiency by allowing the smoke and gases released during burning to combust again. This not only maximizes heat output but also minimizes emissions, making the stove a more environmentally friendly option. Additionally, the air wash system helps keep the glass clean, providing an unobstructed view of the fire while reducing the frequency of maintenance.

The construction quality of Avalon stoves is noteworthy. Built with heavy-duty steel and lined with firebrick, these stoves are designed for durability and heat retention. The high-efficiency design ensures that the heat generated is distributed evenly throughout the room, providing consistent warmth even during the coldest months. With an EPA certification, both the 745 and 790 models meet stringent emission standards, making them one of the cleaner-burning options available.

Aesthetic appeal is also a significant consideration in the design of Avalon stoves. Both models feature a sleek, contemporary look that can seamlessly integrate into a variety of home decors. Customers can choose from a range of finishes and door styles to match their personal preferences and existing interiors.

In conclusion, the Avalon 745 and 790 stoves highlight the brand's commitment to efficiency, quality, and style. With their advanced technologies, robust construction, and elegant designs, these stoves not only provide warmth but also enhance the ambiance of any living space. For homeowners seeking a reliable and attractive heating solution, Avalon stoves are a commendable choice.
