ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

DOOR ROPE GASKET

The condition of the rope gasket around the door and windows should be checked periodically and replaced or repaired if necessary. A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity of the door seal. Close the door on the paper in several different locations and pull. It is normal to feel only a slight amount of fric- tion. The door gasket does not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your stove.

WINDOW WASH

Periodically insert a small piece of cardboard (a busi- ness card) between the window trim and the window. Slide the card back & forth a few times to clear any dust or fibers from the window wash gap. Open the door and repeat from the other side of the glass.

REAR STOVE COMPARTMENT

The rear stove compartment should be cleaned periodi- cally (a minimum of once a year). DISCONNECT ELEC- TRICAL CORD PRIOR TO CLEANING STOVE. Any household dust, pet hair or sawdust should be vac- uumed or wiped out of the rear compartment of the stove, room air blower, and Exhaust Blower (paying special attention to vacuuming out the intakes of both blowers). The electrical components should be wiped clean.

MOTOR LUBRICATION

The blowers are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. Do not apply oil to any part of the blower. Doing so may cause damage.

SMALL AREA PAINT TOUCH-UP (Model T300P only) Using one small piece of 320 grit sand paper and lightly sand the blemish so that the edges are “feathered” or smooth to the touch between the painted and bare sur- faces. Do not let the sand paper gum up with paint, as this will cause scratches on the metal surface. If there are any scratches, use 600 grit sandpaper instead. Mask off surfaces you do not want painted. Paint lightly over the bare surface first as this will act as an undercoat. Then paint over a larger area in smooth even strokes to blend.
