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.

Bypass Plate

7/16" Wrench

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.

Adjusting the Ashpan Latch

The ashpan latch may be adjusted by opening the ashpan, turning the latch to the closed position, then pushing the ashpan in firmly. Repeat this process until the latch holds the ashpan secure, and air-tight.

Cleaning the Combustor Area

Ash may build up in the area to the left and right of the combustor. If the ash becomes too deep, it may plug the combustor and lead to insufficient draft and poor efficiency. To clean this area, follow one of the two methods listed below.

• Method A (for older units or units with easily-removed flues)

Remove the flue from the stove (place a garbage bag under the flue to catch any falling soot or creosote). Use a suitable vacuum (AshVac™ or equivalent) to vacuum the area to the left and right of the combustor (see the illustration on page 35). Ash can pile up in this area so it is important to remove it once per year.

•Method B (for newer units only)

Newer units have clean-out plugs on the firebox back. This allows the area to the left and right of the combustor to be cleaned without removing the flue. To access these clean-out plugs, remove the side, back, and combustion brick (see page 35). Remove the two plugs that insert into the firebox back and use a suitable vacuum (AshVac™ or equivalent) to vacuum the area to the left and right of the combustor. Ash can pile up in this area so it is important to remove it once per year.
