Re-Assembly

 

  Re-attach the top and lower cast iron wall plates (attach the top piece first). 

  Re-seat the ash pan and burn pot, making sure that the burn pot is fully seated in place. 

  Close the door. 

  Plug unit back into wall outlet.  Your stove is now ready for normal use. 

 

Heat Exchanger Baffle Tubes

 

A primary component of the heat exchanger system is a series of baffle tubes located behind the interior cast 
iron walls of the combustion chamber.  As fuel is consumed, ash builds up on these baffle tubes which reduces 
the heat transfer capability of your stove.  It is recommended that you clean the exchanger baffle tubes no less 
than one time per day, and every time you add fuel.  Regular cleaning of the baffle tubes will ensure that the heat 
exchanger system is working optimally and that you are getting the greatest amount of heat output possible from 
your stove.   
 

Cleaning is accomplished by pulling up and pushing 

down  on 

the two exchanger scraper rods that protrude out of 

the 

top 

of the stove.  These rods can be found on the very 

top 

of 

the stove underneath the colored accent panel.  

There 

are two holes in the accent panel where the rods 

recess 

into.  Due to the placement of these two holes, 

actual 

removal of the colored accent panel is not necessary 

for 

cleaning. 
 
A scraper rod tool was provided with your stove (see 

image) 

that is specifically intended for cleaning the 
exchanger baffle tubes.  The two scraper rods 
described above have a hole at the very top where 

this  tool 

“hooks” into.  Simply hook the tool into each of the 

two 

respective rods and pull up/push down two to three 

times 

per cleaning. 

 

NOTE:

  When the stove is hot you may feel resistance when you pull up/push down on the rods.  This is normal 

and occurs as a result of expansion of the stainless steel baffles tubes as they get hot. 
 

NOTE:

  Any time the stove is on, the scraper rods will be very hot.  Do not touch them with your bare hands or 

you could be burned.  Use the oven mitt that was provided with your stove, or other suitable hand protection, 
before touching any of the metal surfaces of your stove. 
 

 
Removal or Replacement of Broken Door Glass or Damaged Door Seals 

If the door glass becomes damaged in any way, including actual damage to the glass or to one of the gaskets on 
the door, replacement of the damaged area should occur prior to operating the stove. 
 
While wearing leather gloves, carefully remove any loose pieces of glass from the doorframe. Dispose of all 
broken glass properly. Return the damaged door to your dealer for replacement or have your dealer do an on-
site replacement of the affected area.   
 
In order to maintain proper materials, installation, fit, and any required edge clearances, all repairs or 
replacement involving door glass, gaskets, or any cushioning devices or components should be performed only 
by an authorized service technician.
