PREVENTIVE MEASURES AND MAINTENANCE
1.
We recommend opening the air intakes completely and to maintain an intense fire
from 10 to 20 minutes per day or use a chimney thermometer, as flue gases should
reach at least 350° F before closing the air intake.
2.
Verify the accumulation of creosote every week that you use the appliance until
you know at which frequency it must be cleaned (
minimum once per year
).
3.
Remove creosote deposit in order to prevent chimney fires.
4.
The interior diameter of the chimney flue must be identical to the smoke exhaust.
A flue which is too small may cause draught problems, while a large flue favours
rapid cooling of the gas, and hence the build-up of creosote.
Note that it is the chimney and NOT the stove that creates the draught effect. Your
stove’s performance is directly dependent on an adequate draught from your
chimney.
5.
Do not alter or modify the air intakes of the appliance in order to get a stronger
fire.
6.
To clean the glasses, J.A. Roby Inc. recommends using products sold for this
purpose or an oven cleaner. Avoid cleaning with abrasives or when the glass is
hot.
7.
Before lighting the first fire, clean the gold plated surfaces using a very soft rag
moistened with water. Do not use a paper towel to clean gildings. If they are not
erased before the first fire, fingerprints and other marks could stain these surfaces
permanently.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
:
Remove the screws that retain the glasses and if need be, the fragments of glasses. Check
if the seal cords are damaged.
If so, replace them by a ½ inch ceramics cord and replace the broken glasses with a
VITROCERAMIC glass of 5mm.
Cut the glass edge 3mm smaller on each side, so that the fiberglass cord can be slipped on
the edge of the glass at the time of its installation. Secure the glass with the screws.
Contact your retailer to obtain any information you might need for the replacement
of the glass.
DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTES.
