8.1.9 Door Adjustment
In order for your stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal
with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically making sure to
obtain an air tight fit. Air tightness can be improved with a simple latch mechanism
adjustment. To adjust:
1. Remove the lock pin by pulling and
turning with pliers. Turn the handle
counter clock wise one turn to increase
pressure.
2. Re-
install
the lock pin (spring pin)
with a small hammer
8.2 Venting System Maintenance
CAUTION: REGULARLY EXAMINE THE VENTING SYSTEM, THE JOINTS, AND THE
SEALING TRIMS TO ENSURE THAT THE SMOKE AND THE COMBUSTION GASES
ARE NOT DRAWN BY THE CONVECTION BLOWER.
The most efficient method to sweep the venting system is by using a 3” or 4'' pellet brush
depending on your installation. Brush downwards so ash, soot and creosote residues will
come off the inner surface and fall at the bottom of the clean out tee where they can be
easily removed. The venting system must be in good condition and kept clean.
WARNING: IF A SIGNIFICANT LAYER OF CREOSOTE HAS ACCUMULATED (3MM /
1/8” OR MORE), IT MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY TO ELIMINATE THE RISK OF
A CHIMNEY FIRE.
