USE TEMPERED GLASS OR DOUBLE THICKNESS WINDOW GLASS! CONTACT THE STOVE MANUFACTURER
FOR REPLACEMENT GLASS.
CAUTION: This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. It is against federal
regulations to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
stove. Masonry chimneys will take longer to warm than manufactured chimneys on account of their greater structural
mass. Chimneys that have a
fl
ue diameter larger than the stove outlet take more heat to warm, thus resulting in a
faster cooling of the hot gases needed to build or maintain draft.
4. Chimney Installation and Maintenance
Con
fi
rm that all four minimum chimney height requirements listed in the Chimney Connection section of the manual
have been met. The physics that link chimney height with draft creation are vital to the proper operation of the stove.
Failure to meet each of these minimum requirements will have an adverse affect on draft. Avoid long horizontal runs
or multiple elbows. Use stove cement to seal joints in the connector pipe section. Regularly clean the chimney, con-
nector pipe, rain cap, and spark arrestor screen. Creosote build up can reduce the chimney draw and possibly create
a chimney
fi
re.
5. Temporarily Out of Operation
After
the
fi
re has burned out, open the air control to its fully open position. This will allow warm room air to enter the
chimney and keep it as warm as possible until the stove is used again. For assistance involving chimney draft issues,
contact a knowledgeable licensed heating and cooling contractor in your area. For questions regarding manufactured
chimney, contact the manufacturer of the chimney. NOTE: A DRAFT READING OF 0.05 TO 0.06 W.C. (WATER COL-
UMN) IS REQUIRED 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, extinguish the
fi
re 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
fi
res 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 ad-
equate using a soft, non-abrasive cleaning pad.
6. Never put substances which can ignite explosively in the unit. Even small explosions in con
fi
ned areas can blow out
the glass.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
Gasket and Glass cleaning products are available at local retail home centers. Manufacturers of cleaning products in-
clude, A.W. Perkins Co. (www.awperkins. com) or Rutland Products (www.rutland.com). After extensive use, the gasket
material which provides glass and door seal may lose it’s resiliency and will need to be replaced. Inspect glass and door
gaskets periodically to ensure proper seal; if gaskets become frayed or worn, replace immediately.if gaskets become
frayed or worn, replace immediately. This unit’s door uses a 1 1/8” diameter rope gasket.
GLASS REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
1. Ensure appliance is not in operation and is thoroughly cooled.
2. Remove screw and glass clips. (See parts list and diagram.)
3. Remove glass from door frame.
4. If glass is broken, carefully remove and discard each broken piece to avoid cuts. Discard window gasket. Replace
window and gasket with original factory replacement parts.
5. Replace new gasket starting at the bottom of glass working along edges, being sure to center gasket channel on
glass.
6. Trim to length and butt ends together.
7. Perform replacement procedure in reverse order after replacing glass and gasket.
8. When replacing glass into door, be sure not to overtighten screws and clips.
