Glass Care
Cleaning
Occasionally it will be necessary to clean the car-
bon deposits and fly ash off of the glass. If deposits
are allowed to remain on the glass for an extended
period of time, the glass may become etched and
cloudy.
Creosote deposits should burn off during the next
hot fire.
1. The glass must be COMPLETELY COOL.
2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed for
this purpose. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANING
AGENTS. The use of abrasives will damage the
glass, leaving a frosted surface. Crumpled newspa-
per is an especially good cleaning material.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before lighting a
fire.
Glass Replacement
Always operate the doors slowly and cautiously to
avoid cracking or breaking the glass. Never use the
door to push wood into the firebox. If the glass
becomes cracked or broken follow the replacement
procedure below.
Ash Removal
Always wear stove gloves when handling ashes.
Ash removal will be required periodically depend-
ing on how frequently the stove is used. Use a steel
ash shovel and metal container with a tight-fitting
lid.
NEVER USE A PAPER OR PLASTIC BAG AS AN ASH
RECEPTACLE.
The container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending final dis-
posal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise dispersed,
they should be kept in the
closed container until all coals and cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITH A
CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS PANEL.
Replace glass only with part # 156467
specifically designed for the Jøtul C 550
Rockland Fireplace insert. Do not use
substitutes. Replacement glass can be
ordered from your Jøtul dealer.
1. Remove the door from the stove and place on a
flat surface.
2. First loosen and then carefully remove all of the
glass clips from the inside of the door. See fig. 19.
3. Remove all pieces of the glass panel and gasketing.
4. Remove all remaining debris from the glass area
using a wire brush.
5. Apply a small bead of gasket/stove cement and
the new gasket. Do not overlap the ends of the
gasket rope.
6.
Orient the glass with the IR Coating label facing
out.
Hold the glass at an angle to see the word
“COATED” located at the lower edge. This side
should face out when placed in the door. Center
the new glass panel over the gasket and loosely
reinstall the glass clips. Tighten the clips, alternat-
ing at opposite corners. Avoid applying uneven
pressure on the glass..
7. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips
after the stove has burned and the gasketing has
seated.
