SERVICE HINTS
ASH REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL
Ashes should be removed from the stove every few days
or when ashes get to 2 to 3 inches deep. Always empty
the stove when it is cold, such as in the morning. Ashes
should be placed in a metal container with a tight
fi tting
lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non combustible
fl oor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal. If the
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the close container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste shall
not be placed in this container.
GLASS CARE
The following usage and safety tips should be observed:
1. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and breaks. If
you detect a crack or break, extinguish the fi re immedi-
ately and contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
2. Do not slam the door or otherwise impact the glass.
When closing doors, make sure that logs or other ob-
jects do not protrude to impact the glass.
3. Do not build fi res against (or that might fall against) the
glass.
4. Do not clean the glass with materials that may scratch
(or otherwise damage) the glass. Scratches on the
glass can develop into cracks or breaks during opera-
tion.
5. Never attempt to clean the glass while the unit is hot.
If deposits are not very heavy, normal glass cleaners
are adequate using a soft, non-abrasive cleaning pad.
Heavier deposits may be removed with oven cleaners.
6. Never put substances which can ignite explosively in
the unit. Even small explosions in con fi ned areas can
blow out the glass.
Gasket and Glass cleaning products are available at local
retail home centers. Manufacturers of cleaning products
for wood stoves include, A.W. Perkins Co. (www.awper-
kins.com) or Rutland Products (www.rutland.com).
CAUTION:
REPLACE GLASS ONLY WITH 5mm HIGH
TEMPERATURE CERAMIC GLASS OF THE PROPER
SIZE. DO NOT USE TEMPERED GLASS OR DOUBLE
THICKNESS WINDOW GLASS.
