RSF Woodburning Fireplaces
At half height, there is a locking ring. This locking ring prevents the
door support from rolling inside during normal door operation. To
unlock it, simply turn it counter-clockwise until horizontal. To lock it,
simply pull the door mechanism completely out and turn the lock ring
clockwise until vertical. If the locking ring is too tight or too loose to
lock, please refer to the Door Adjustment paragraph in the
Maintenance section of the current instructions.
In summary:
To hide the door
: open the left extrusion using the handle
at the bottom of the extrusion and unlock the locking ring.
Then open the door and unlock the latch. The mechanism is
now free to roll inside, simply push the door toward the back
of the fireplace. Move the door handle all the way up, push
the door as far left as it will go and close the extrusion.
To unhide the door
: open the left extrusion using the
handle at the bottom of the extrusion and pull the door out
using the wood handle. Lock the locking ring and then close
the door. Lock the latch on the door hinge and close the
extrusion.
We recommend that you hide or unhide the door when the
fireplace is cold. If you do operate the hideaway mechanism
while the fireplace is hot, make sure to wear gloves and to be
very careful, while sliding the door, to minimize the risk of
injuries or burns.
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL CLEANING
The high heat paint and plating can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild detergent and water. Do not
use abrasive cleaners.
PAINT
You can touch up the face of the TOPAZ with
Stove Bright
Metallic Black high temperature paint which is
available at most fireplaces dealers. Follow the directions outlined on the spray can.
DO NOT
attempt to paint the
fireplace while it is still warm. Keep the spray can away from any source of heat or open flame. Ensure that there
is adequate ventilation in the room from the time you start painting until the paint is dry.
Stove Bright
is available
in a wide range of colors if you want to change the color of your TOPAZ.
We recommend that you take the time to protect or remove any item that you do not want to paint such as: the
door glass, the plated door, the fireplace surroundings, etc. The glass can be removed from the door but you will
have to replace the window gasket.
GLASS CLEANING
In a controlled combustion firebox, temperatures are not always high enough to keep the glass perfectly clean. A
good hot fire once a day usually cleans off most of the deposits that have accumulated. Remember: the drier the
wood and the hotter the fire, the cleaner the glass. A word of caution: although heat will not break the glass,
impact can. Be careful not to hit the glass.
WARNING: NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WITH AN ABRASIVE CLEANER. USE ONLY A CLEANER
RECOMMENDED BY YOUR DEALER. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT, A SERIOUS BURN
CAN RESULT. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EXCELLENT WOOD STOVE GLASS CLEANERS AVAILABLE
WHICH ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO REGULAR GLASS AND OVEN CLEANERS FOR WOOD STOVE
APPLICATIONS.
