2.5 SMOKE
DETECTOR
We highly recommend the use of a smoke detector. It must be installed at least 15 feet (4,57 m) from the
appliance in order to prevent undue triggering of the detector when reloading.
2.6 DOOR
GLASS
To maintain a clean and safe installation, do not build your fire too close to the glass or allow the fire logs to lean
on the glass.
Do not operate your furnace at the minimum rate for prolonged periods and keep the air inlet opened long enough
during the fire start-up to prevent the fire from going out; failure to do so will contribute to the sooting up of the door
glass, exchangers and chimney.
An intense fire will help keeping the glass clean. However, in the event that your glass gets stained, which should
not occur, you will have to clean it using a wet cloth and oven cleaner. The glass may be cleaned
ONLY
when the
unit has cooled down. Do not use abrasive cleanser. Wood stove glass cleaners are available on the market and
their efficiency makes no doubt.
WARNING: Avoid knocking or scratching the glass which could be damaged.
2.6.1 GLASS SPECIFICATIONS
The glass is made of Pyroceram type of glass, 3/16” – (5 mm) thick.
Do not operate your furnace with a broken glass, as this could seriously damage your appliance.
You can purchase your replacement glass from your Hotblast dealer.
2.7 ASH
DRAWER
Your appliance is equipped with an ash drawer to collect ashes produced by the combustion of wood. This
drawer must not be left open during combustion as this will cause over firing and serious damage to the furnace.
The drawer must be cleaned regularly.
It is important that the door and the ash drawer be kept closed while the appliance is in use.
Maintain all gaskets in good condition: in case of deterioration, contact your dealer for
replacement.
2.8 ASH
GRATE
You must replace the ash grate if it is damaged and a replacement may be obtained from your dealer. The steel
plate on the ash grid is meant to optimize the heat inside the combustion chamber and should only be removed to
empty the ashes.
