CHImNEY DRAFT
Draft is a function of the chimney, not the
stove — do not expect the stove to draw. Smoke
spillage into the house or excess buildup of conden-
sation or creosote in the chimney are warnings that
the chimney is NOT functioning properly. Correct
the problem before using the stove. Following are
some possible causes for improper draft.
1. The connector stovepipe may be pushed
into the chimney too far, stopping the draft.
2. If the chimney is operating too cool, water
will condense in the chimney and run back into the
stove. Creosote formation will be rapid and may
block the chimney. Operate the stove at a fire level
high enough to keep the chimney warm preventing
this condensation.
3. If the fire burns well but sometimes creates
excessive smoke or burns slowly, it may be caused
by the chimney top being lower than another part
of the house or a nearby tree. The wind blowing
over a house or tree, falls on top of the chimney like
water over a dam, beating down the smoke. The
top of the chimney should be at least three (3) feet
above the roof and be at least two (2) feet higher
than any point of the roof within ten (10) feet.
NOTE: A DRAFT READING OF 0.05 TO 0.06
w.C. (wATER COLUmN) IS SUGGESTED FOR
PROPER BURNING OF THIS STOVE.
GLASS CARE
The following usage and safety tips should be
observed:
1. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and
breaks. If you detect a crack or break, extin-
guish the fire immediately and contact the
manufacturer for a replacement.
2. Do not slam the door or otherwise impact the
glass. When closing doors, make sure that logs
or other objects do not protrude to impact the
glass.
3. Do not build fires against (or that might fall
against) the glass.
4. Do not clean the glass with materials that
may scratch (or otherwise damage) the glass.
Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks
or breaks during operation.
5. Never attempt to clean the glass while the unit
is hot. If deposits are not very heavy, normal
glass cleaners are adequate using a soft, non-
abrasive cleaning pad. Heavier deposits may
be removed with oven cleaners.
6. Never put substances which can ignite explo-
sively in the unit. Even small explosions in
confined areas can blow out the glass.
Gasket and Glass cleaning products are avail-
able at local retail home centers. Manufacturers
of cleaning products include, A.W. Perkins Co.
(www.awperkins.com) or Rutland Products (www.
rutland.com).

seal; if gaskets become frayed or worn, replace
immediately.
