• Leaving the door ajar too long and creating extreme
temperatures as the air rushes in the open door.
• Improperly installed or worn gaskets.
• Creosote build up in chimney.
SOLUTIONS:
• Do not burn treated or processed wood, coal, char-
coal, coloured paper or cardboard.
• 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 appliances may
need cleaning as often as once a month. These rates,
however, depend on the burning habits of the individ-
ual 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 accumula-
tions 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, preferably by a qualified chimney sweep
or mason.
.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 BROKEN GLASS FROM INSIDE THE APPLIANCE
BEFORE OPERATION.
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 gasket will prop-
erly 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. Replacement Glass Part as for unit.
7.6 CARE OF GLASS
If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration
and / or blemishes may result. Normally a hot fire
will clean the glass. The most common reasons for
dirty glass include: not using sufficient fuel to get the
appliance thoroughly hot, using green or wet wood,
closing the draft so far that there is insufficient air for
complete combustion.
7.7 CLEANING THE GLASS CERAMIC
SHEET
WARNING
THE GLASS CERAMIC SHEET MAY ONLY BE CLEANED
WHEN COLD (FIREPLACE Module NOT BURNING AND
COOLED DOWN; NO HOT ASH IN THE FIRE CHAMBER).
WARNING
All Spartherm modules are supplied with Robax glass
in the door.
Robax is a ceramic glass.
Do not use substitute glass and order replacement
glass from Spartherm through your dealer.
7.8 CARE OF PLATED PARTS
If the appliance is equipped with plated parts, you
must clean fingerprints or other marks from the plated
surfaces before operating the appliance for the first
time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to clean.
If not cleaned properly before operating for the first
time, the marks can cause permanent blemishes on
the plating. After the plating is cured, the fingerprints
and oils will not affect the finish and little maintenance
is required, just wipe clean as needed. Prolonged high
temperature burning with the door ajar may cause
discolouration on plated parts.
NOTE: The protective wrap on plated parts is best
removed when the assembly is at room temperature
but this can be improved if the assembly is warmed,
using a hair dryer or similar heat source.
