SECTION VIII: CARE AND MAINTENANCE
(Unit must be cool and power unplugged
before performing any maintenance)
A. Gaskets
Door: This unit comes with a ¾“ rope gasket around the door that should
be replaced at least every year. To replace the door gasket (Part # AC-
DGK), the old gasket must first be removed entirely — prior to adding
the new adhesive, you may have to scrape the old cement from the
door channel. Once the cement and gasket have been added, the door
should be closed and latched for twenty-four hours to allow the cement
to harden.
Glass: If you are replacing the window gasket (Part # AC-GGK), the new
gasket will already have adhesive on one side. First, remove the old
gasket. Next, remove the paper on the adhesive side and place the
gasket around the outside edge of the glass, centered over the edge.
Fold the gasket edges over on the glass, forming a “U” shape.
B. Firebrick
This furnace is equipped with high density, high temperature firebrick. Any
brick that become chipped or cracked, especially on the sides of the
firebox, need to be replaced.
C. Finish
This unit is coated with high-temperature paint that will retain its original
look for several years. If the unit should get wet, rust spots may appear;
these can easily be covered with this high-temperature spray paint (plain
steel wool can be used to remove the rust spots before repainting). Please
contact your dealer or the factory for this paint, as other brands may not
adhere to the surface of this furnace.
D. Blower and Thermostat
This furnace comes with a 850 CFM blower (Part BM-1376). Over a
period of time the intake of the blower can become clogged with lint or
dust, and it will require some cleaning. To do this, unplug the blower from
the power source and remove the screws that hold the blower to the stove
(be sure the stove is cool before doing so). Then unscrew the motor from
the blower and remove it, along with the impeller. A vacuum cleaner can
be used to remove the foreign material from the intake. Reverse this
procedure to re-mount the blower to the furnace.
The AC-1339 thermostat requires no maintenance. It activates the blower
when the firebox temperature rises to 125 degrees Fahrenheit; it also
Refer to the list at the rear of this
manual for part numbers.
