Maintenance Checks
Check the following parts for damage such as cracks, excessive corrosion, burned out sections and exces-
sive warping: (See website for descriptions and more detail).
Weekly:
• Firebrick - Visual, for cracking.
• Door Gasket - sagging, placement, damage.
Monthly
• Brick rail tabs and brick rails.
• Air riser tube in the back of the firebox.
• Back side of airwash chamber.
• Baffle locking pin.
• Boost manifold cover.
When Cleaning the Chimney System:
• Top baffle board/blanket.
• Baffle.
• Top heat shield and mounting bolt.
• Baffle Gasket.
• Brick Rails.
• Manifold.
Baffle:
• Some warping of the baffle is normal (up to 1/4” or 7mm).
• Replace if the baffle has permanent warping greater than 1/4" (7mm) or shows signs of cracking or
breakage.
• Please contact your Dealer if you experience any of the damage listed above. Continuing to operate your
fireplace with broken parts may accelerate damage to other parts and may void your warranty.
Ash Removal:
Caution: Ashes are to be removed only when the heater is cold. Whenever ashes get 3 (76mm) to 4 (102mm)
inches deep in your firebox, and when fire has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash
bed approximately 1” (25 mm) deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Disposal of Ashes:
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be
placed outside on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pend-
ing final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed in this
container.
