EMOVAL
When wood burns slowly at low temperatures, it
produces tar and other organic vapors, which
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote.
These creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot
fire, which may damage the chimney or even destroy
the house. When burning wood, inspect the chimney
connector and chimney at least once every two
months during the heating season to determine if
there is a creosote buildup.
If a creosote build-up occurs, inspect the stovepipe
connector and chimney more often, at least monthly
during the heating season to monitor the
accumulation. If a creosote residue greater than 1/4"
(6 mm) accumulates, remove it to reduce the risk of a
chimney fire.
Prevention
Burn the stove with the primary air control fully open
for 35 - 45 minutes daily to burn out creosote deposits
from within the stove and the venting system.
After reloading with wood, burn the stove with the
primary air control fully open for 15 to 20 minutes.
This manner of operation ensures early engagement
of the secondary combustion system that minimizes
creosote buildup in the chimney.
If your glass always remains dirty, your operating
temperatures are too low or your wood is wet;
therefore, there is a higher risk of creosote buildup.
Inspect the venting system at the stove connection
and
at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build
creosote deposits faster, so it is important to check
the chimney at the top (where it is coolest) as well as
from the bottom near the stove.
Contact your local fire authority for information on
how to handle a chimney fire.
Cleaning
Remove accumulated creosote with a cleaning brush
specifically designed for the type of chimney in use.
We recommend you use a certified chimney sweep to
perform this service. Contact your dealer for the name
of a certified chimney sweep in your area (your dealer
may be a certified sweep!).
We recommend that before each heating season you
have the entire system professionally inspected,
cleaned and repaired, if necessary.

:
1. Open the door and remove the push nut from the
upper hinge pin, and remove the pin.
2. Tilt the top of the door outward, and then lift the
door up off the lower pin. The door weighs 81
pounds (37 kg) – so use a helper if necessary.
3. Ensure the brass washer remains in place on the
lower pin.
4. Place the door face down on a padded work
surface. Use two rolled up towels, or similar,
under the door to stabilize the curved door during
maintenance.
5. When reinstalling the door, use a new push nut
on the upper hinge pin.

ASKETS
Replace door gasket material every two to three
seasons, depending on stove use. If the door seal
leaks, a new gasket will ensure a tight seal and
improve stove performance.
We recommend you only use Hearthstone Hase
Collection replacement gaskets and adhesive when
you need to replace your door gasket. Contact your
dealer for a gasket kit that includes instructions,
adhesive, and the gasket for your stove.

1. To replace the door gasket, remove the door from
the stove (see door removal instructions above),
and remove the door’s side plates. Pull off the old
rope gasket. Carefully remove any old gasket
material and adhesive with a small screwdriver,
or cold chisel and a hammer. Clean all gasket
channels with a small wire brush if necessary.
