• Inspect and clean the catalytic block, and vacuum

out the ash at the bottom of the back plate after

removing the lower ﬁreback. Lightly clean the refrac-

tory assembly that houses the element. Be careful

not to damage the refractory material, which is very

fragile.

• Inspect the secondary probe thermometer; refer to

Page 30.

• Check door and damper handles for tightness. Ad-

just if needed.

• Check heat shield screws. Tighten as necessary.

• Clean dust from the inner sides of bottom, rear and

connector heat shields.

• Remove ashes from the ash pan and replace with

moisture absorbing material (such as cat litter) to

keep the stove interior dry. Close the stove door to

keep cats from using the litter.

• Touch up the paint on black stoves.
