The chimney and chimney cap must be inspect-
ed for soot and creosote every two months
during the burn season or more frequency if
chimney exceeds or is under 14-16 ft. (4.3m-
4.8m) measured from bottom of appliance.
This will prevent pipe blockage, poor draft, and
chimney fi res.
Always burn dry wood to help prevent cap
blockage and creosote build-up.

Keep door and glass gasket in good shape to
maintain good burn times on a low burn setting.
To test: place a dollar bill between the stove and
door and then shut the door. If you can pull the
dollar out, remove one washer from door handle

pull it out, replace the door gasket.
Check the glass frame for loose screws to pre-
vent air leakage. Check glass for cracks.

Check the door latch for proper adjustment.
This is very important especially after the door
rope has formed to the stove face.
