f) Inspect and place of the chimney sweeping cap back in baffle opening.
CAUTION: Operating the unit without the chimney sweeping cap in position will result in over firing and
void the warranty.
6.3 Cleaning of Glass
It is recommended to clean the glass door with a soft cloth, damped with a non-abrasive solution, such as soap
and water.
CAUTION: Cleaning the glass with an abrasive solution will result in surface scratches, reducing glass
transparency and resistance to impacts.
The glass of the door may be cleaned with commercial products intended for fireplaces and stoves. After cleaning
the glass, remove any remaining solutions with a wet cloth to avoid chemical reactions at elevated temperatures
(“cloudiness’’ on the surface of the glass).
CAUTION: Do not apply commercial cleaners onto any painted surfaces as discoloration/peeling may
occur.
NOTE: Never clean the glass when the unit is in operation or hot.
6.4 Replacing Soapstone Panel
Three soapstone panels are assembled along the combustion chamber side walls (left, right, and back) allowing

panels to ensure proper operation of the unit. The soapstone panels need to be replaced when it is gravely
chipped and/or cracked. Failure to replace the soapstone panel under the mentioned conditions will alter the
performance of the unit. Refer to the following instructions for replacing a soapstone panel:
a) Order the soapstone panel for the FLAIR 34 (32SF1175
– 3X).
b) Remove the door from the firebox and place it face down on a soft surface. NOTE: Rotate the handle to
permit proper placing.
c) Remove the bottom plate (hearth) by lifting it out of the firebox.
d) Slide the back wall soapstone panel by tilting the bottom and swivelling them out of the top retainer.
e) Replace the damaged soapstone panel if it was removed in step d) and position the panels back in place
by swiveling them behind the top retainer.

back wall panel by swiveling them behind the top retainer.
g) Insert the bottom plate (hearth) and door to its original position.
WARNING: Do not operate the unit with any of the soapstone panels missing.
