Cape Cod Wood Stove

MAINTENANCE

The Cape Cod stove is equipped with ceramic, heat-resistant glass, which can only be broken by impact or misuse. Do not slam the stove door or impact the glass. When closing the door, make sure that logs do not protrude against the glass.

Inspect the glass regularly for cracks or breaks. If you detect a crack or break, extinguish the fire immediately and contact your Dealer for replace- ment.

A portion of the combustion air entering the firebox is deflected down over the inside of the door glass. This air flow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface. When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be flowing over the glass and the smokey, relatively cool condition of a low fire will cause the glass to become coated. Operating the stove with the primary air control all the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove the built up coating. If the deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal glass cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be removed by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by using a commercially available oven cleaner. After using an oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any residue with a glass cleaner, or soap and water. Oven cleaner left on during the next firing can permanently stain the glass and damage the finish on plated metal surfaces.

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 unit. 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 CARE & REPLACEMENT

NOTE: Remove all labels from glass prior to lighting the first fire.

1.Ensure that the fire is out and the appliance is cool to the touch.

2.Protect a table or counter top with padding or cardboard.

3.Remove door with broken glass from the appli- ance by lifting door up and off of the hinges.

4.Remove handle and lay door face down on a table or counter. Hang the handle attachment knob over the edge of the table top so door lays flat.

5.Remove the screws from each glass retainer.

6.Remove the glass.

7.Use only 5mm ceramic Glass, Part 834-3930

8.Position the glass with the gasketing towards the door and the 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 appliance.

DO NOT OPERATE THE WOODSTOVE IF THE DOOR GLASS IS BROKEN OR MISSING. DAN- GEROUS OVERFIRING CAN OCCUR WHICH CAN DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE OR IGNITE CREOSOTE IN THE CHIMNEY, POSSIBLY CAUS- ING A HOUSE FIRE.
