• Do not burn green or freshly cut wood.
• Be careful not to overfire the appliance by leaving the door open too
long after the initial start-up. A thermometer on the chimney connector
and/or appliance top helps.
• Replace worn, dried out (inflexible) gaskets.
• Have chimney regularly cleaned.
IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE:
• Have a well understood plan for evacuation and a place outside for
everyone to meet. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone’s safety.
• Close air control on appliance.
• Call local fire department. Have a fire extinguisher handy. Contact local
authorities for further information on how to handle a chimney fire.
• After the chimney fire is out, clean and inspect the chimney or chimney
liner for stress and cracks prior to lighting another fire. Also check
combustibles around the chimney and the roof.
7.4 CHIMNEY CLEANING
Both the chimney and the appliance must be inspected and cleaned at
least once a year.
For serious wood burners, chimney cleaning must be done as needed to
avoid chimney fires; the venting systems for controlled combustion appli-
ances may need cleaning as often as once a month. These rates, however,
depend on the burning habits of the individual operating the appliance.
For example, it is possible to clog a solid fuel appliance chimney in a few
days if slow, smoldering fires are burned and the chimney is cold. NOTE:
Appliances burned consistently without hot fires may result in significant
creosote accumulations in the chimney.
Certain items and considerations are important in chimney cleaning:
• Proper tools should be used, including a brush specifically designed
for chimney cleaning.
• The chimney connector and dampers as well as the chimney should be
cleaned.
• The appliance’s firebox and baffle system should be cleaned if needed.
• The chimney should be inspected and repairs made if needed, prefer-
ably by a qualified chimney sweep or mason.
7.5 GLASS REPLACEMENT
WARNING
DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS
GLASS MAY BE HOT, DO NOT TOUCH GLASS UNTIL COOLED.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN REMOVING AND DISPOSING OF ANY BROKEN
DOOR GLASS OR DAMAGED COMPONENTS. BE SURE TO VACUUM UP ANY

DO NOT STRIKE, SLAM OR SCRATCH GLASS. DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE
WITH GLASS REMOVED, CRACKED, BROKEN OR SCRATCHED.
Installation:
Remove the door from the stove and remove the glass retainer. Position
the 4 mm ceramic Schott Robax glass in the door, make sure that the
glass gasketing will properly seal your unit, and replace the retainer,
it should rest on the gasket not the glass. Tighten securely, but do not
wrench down on the glass as this may cause the glass to break. Replace-
ment Glass Part as for unit.
