Re-install the new glass by re-attaching the retainers and screws, be careful not to over tighten the screws for
this could damage the glass.
DO NOT abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass
removed, cracked or broken.
FALL START UP
Prior to starting the first fire of the heating season, check the outside area around the exhaust and air intake
systems for obstructions. Clean and remove any fly ash from the exhaust venting system. Clean any screens on
the exhaust system and on the outside air intake pipe. Turn all of the controls on and make sure that they are
working properly. This is also a good time to give the entire stove a good cleaning throughout.
SPRING SHUTDOWN
After the last burn in the spring, remove any remaining pellets from the hopper and the auger feed system. Scoop
out the pellets and then run the auger until the hopper is empty and pellets stop flowing (this can be done by
pressing the “ON” button with the viewing door open). Vacuum out the hopper. Thoroughly clean the burn pot,
and firebox. It may be desirable to spray the inside of the cleaned hopper with an aerosol silicone spray if your
stove is in a high humidity area. The exhaust system should be thoroughly cleaned.
