MAINTENANCE

SERVICING GLASS

CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO ABUSE DOOR ASSEMBLY BY STRIKING OR SLAMMING IT. IF THE DOOR ASSEMBLY OR GLASS IS BROKEN OR DAMAGED, THEY MUST BE REPLACED WITH FACTORY ORIGINAL PARTS BEFORE HEATER CAN BE SAFELY OPERATED. USE ONLY COMPONENTS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS REPLACEMENT PARTS.

Cleaning Glass: Ensure stove is cold prior to cleaning glass. A commercial glass cleaner designed for stoves is recommended. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not clean with any materials, which may scratch or otherwise damage the glass. Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or break. Inspect the glass regu- larly. If you detect a crack, extinguish the fire and contact your dealer for a replacement.

Replacing Glass:

1.Open the door. Using a phillips screwdriver loosen the 4 screws which secure the glass then carefully remove broken glass one piece at a time (protective leather gloves are recommended).

2.Remove screws and clips from doorframe and set aside.

3.Clean the area where the glass with gasket will be installed.

4.Install new glass with gasket (use only factory 4- mm glass with glass channel gasket. Do not substi- tute).

5.Carefully reinstall glass clips with gasket and screws. Be very careful not to overtighten the screws (this could result in breakage when stove is hot).

CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL What is Creosote - When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. Also, creosote deposits tend to form in long runs of venting where gases be-

come too cool prior to exhausting. Note: Single wall pipe cools rapidly, therefore installations using this type of flue are more susceptible to creosote deposits.

To inhibit the build up of creosote, adjust the primary air draft control to a medium-high or high setting for a 10- minute period each day. Do not attempt to burn out heavy creosote accumulations in this manner. This must be removed from the chimney by scraping or brushing to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

Burn Approved Fuel Only - This stove is approved for burning dry seasoned natural wood only. Using green or inadequately seasoned wood may increase creosote buildup.

Inspection Frequency - The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. If creosote has accumulated (1/8 “(3 mm) or more) it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Experienced chimney servicing personnel should be consulted.

Cleaning - Remove the baffle brick in the firebox prior to having your chimney cleaned (should be done by a qualified chimney sweep). See following – Removing Baffle Brick for Cleaning).

Removing Baffle for Cleaning

Before flue can be cleaned, the baffle in the stove fire- box must be removed. The CI1000HT has one vermiculite firebrick, which serves as a baffle for the flue gas- ses. The CI2000HT has a 5-sided box made of ceramic fiber brick that serves as a baffle. In both cases, the baffles are located just above the secondary air tubes (which must be removed to access the baffle). Sugges- tion: Wear a pair of leather work gloves when removing secondary air tube assembly and baffle.

1.To access the baffle, the secondary air tube as- sembly must be removed. Locate the 4 screws, which secure the assembly into place (located at the ceiling of the firebox). Remove the assembly and set aside. Slide the baffle out and set aside.

2.Once the baffle is removed from the firebox, the flue can be cleaned. The accumulated soot that is re- moved by brushing will fall to the firebox floor where it can be removed and disposed of.

WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITHOUT THE BAFFLE BRICK PROPERLY INSTALLED. THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND THE STOVE WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
