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.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any
buildup on the screens of the blower.

Adjusting the Bypass Latch

The bypass latch uses a pressure plate to secure it in the closed position. If the bypass does not latch to
the closed position, it may be adjusted following the directions below.
Close the bypass -- you may need
to hold it in the shut position.
Tighten this bolt 1/2 turn. Test operation of the
bypass - opening and closing it several times. If it
does not latch shut, tighten the bolt another 1/2 turn.
NOTE: In rare cases the bolt may be over-tightened,
not allowing the bypass handle to rotate down. in
these cases, loosen the bolt.
