REPLACING THE GLASS:
Never strike or slam the door, hit the glass or let burning wood rest against it. If the glass cracks when
the fire is burning, do not open the door until the fire is out and do not operate the stove again until
the glass has been replaced. If the glass is damaged in any way, a factory replacement is required (see
“
P
arts
L
ist
”
). To replace the glass, remove the steel retaining clips and all loose glass. Replace only with
Neoceram 5 mm glass 16.61” (422 mm) x 10.63” (270 mm) and wrap the edges with 0.125” (3.2 mm) x
0.5” (13 mm) self-adhesive fiberglass gasket.
Wear gloves when handling damaged glass door assembly to prevent personal injury. When the glass
door assembly is being transported, it must be wrapped in newsprint and tape and/or a strong plastic bag.
The glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO dealer. No substitute materials are allowed.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION:
All homes with a solid fuel burning stove should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central location
known to all in the household. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors should be installed
and maintained in the room containing the stove. If it sounds the alarm, correct the cause but do not
deactivate. You may choose to relocate the smoke detection devise within the room; DO NOT REMOVE
THE SMOKE OR CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS FROM THE ROOM.
CREOSOTE - FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL:
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney of a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected bi-weekly during the heating
season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (3mm or more) it
should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
MAINTENANCE:
At the end of each heating season clean the chimney and the smoke pipe. If soot has accumulated above
the top baffle bricks, remove, clean, and then replace them. If a secondary air tube is badly corroded,
replace it. Replace worn door gaskets and broken bricks as needed.
FAILURE TO INSPECT AND CLEAN YOUR CHIMNEY SYSTEM REGULARLY CAN RESULT IN A
CHIMNEY FIRE, WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE CHIMNEY OR CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.
CHIMNEY OR RUN AWAY FIRE:
1.
Call local fire department (or dial 911)
2.
Close the draft fully
3.
Examine the flue pipes, chimney, attic, and roof of the house, to see if any part has become hot
enough to catch fire. If necessary, spray with fire extinguisher or water from the garden hose.
4.
Do not operate the stove again until you are certain the chimney and its lining have not been damaged.
