MAINTENANCE (CONT'D)
GLASS CARE (CONT'D)
Do not clean the glass with abrasive materials that may scratch or otherwise damage the glass. Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks. Never attempt to clean the glass while a fire is in the stove. The best method for maintaining clean glass is to operate the stove efficiently by using dry well seasoned wood and burning moderate to hot fires.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
1. Ensure that the fire is out and the stove is cool to the touch.
2.Protect a table or counter top with padding or towels.
3.Remove door with broken glass by lifting door up and off of the hinges.
4.Lay door face down on a table or counter making sure door handle and fiber handle hang over the edge of the table top so door lays flat, on a soft surface.
5.Remove the screws from each glass retainer. If screws are difficult to remove, soak with penetrating oil first.
6.Remove the glass.
7.Use only 5mm ceramic glass, Part
8.Position the glass with edges evenly overlapping the opening in the front door.
9.Replace the glass retainers. Be careful not to cross thread the screws.
10.Tighten each retainer just a few turns until each is secured. Then continue to tighten each retainer alternately, a few turns at a time, until the glass panel is tightened snugly.
11.Replace the door on the stove.

IMPORTANT: You must clean all the fingerprints and oils from the plated surfaces before firing the stove for the first time. Use warm soapy water and a soft rag, glass cleaner and a paper towel, or vinegar and a paper towel to remove the oils. DO NOT use abra- sive cleaners! If not cleaned properly prior to lighting the first fire, the oils can cause permanent stains. The plating will be cured upon firing of the stove and oils will no longer affect the finish. Subsequently, little maintenance is then required. Wipe clean as needed with a soft towel.
WARNING!
DO NOT OPERATE THE WOODSTOVE IF THE DOOR GLASS IS BROKEN OR MISSING. DANGEROUS OVERFIRING CAN OCCUR WHICH CAN DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE OR IGNITE CREOSOTE IN THE CHIMNEY, POSSIBLY CAUSING A HOUSE FIRE.

DOOR GASKET
Periodically check the door gasket for proper seal. As the gasket compresses or “seats” during use, it may become necessary to replace the gasket material as wear or damage to the gasket material can cause air leakage into the firebox resulting in overfiring and loss of efficiency.
