SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when
exposed to elevated concentrations for extended periods of time. While the modern combustion systems in
heaters drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or
con
fi
ned areas can be dangerous. Make sure you stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order
and sealing properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and CO
monitors in areas having the potential to generate CO.
DOOR AND GLASS GASKETS
Inspect the door and glass window gaskets periodically. The door may need to be removed to have frayed,
broken, or compacted gaskets replaced by your authorized dealer. This unit’s door uses a .125 x 1
fl
at gasket.
Inspect and clean the secondary burn plate, primary burn basket, primary burn tube and ashtray prior to
igniting the stove.
GET TO KNOW YOUR STOVE
Experience will determine how often you need to clear the secondary burn plate and ashtray while the
stove is in operation. Experience will determine how often the heat exchanger needs to be cleared of ash
build up (DO NOT ATTEMPT WHILE THE STOVE IS IN OPERATION). HINT –You will be able to see any ash build up
in the heat exchanger by moving the draft slide to the all the way open position. A shop vacuum works well
for heat exchanger ash removal.
NOTE: Failure to keep a clean burn chamber or secondary burn plate can result in poor stove performance.
NOTE: Letting ash build up into the primary burn basket can cause choking of the stove and increase the
risk of smoldering fuel and or smoke spillage.
WARNING : DROPPING OR STRIKING THE GLASS WITH A HARD OBJECT CAN RESULT IN BRAKING THE GLASS,
CARE SHOULD BE TAKING WHEN REMOVING, REPLACING OR CLEANING GLASS. NEVER OPERATE WITH BROKEN
OR CRACKED GLASS.
WARNING : ABRASIVE CLEANERS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO GLASS.
WARNING : DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN SURFACES WHILE HOT OR IN OPERATION.
Cleaning the window is simple; simply remove the hinge pin located on the right side of the window frame
by pushing the pin up and out. The window frame will now swing open. Use caution as glass will now be loose.
Perform necessary cleaning and reinstall.
NOTE: There are cleaning products available at your local stove dealer speci
fi
cally for cleaning stove glass.
DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS WHEN REPLACING GLASS.
NOTE: It may be necessary to replace the gasket rope wrapped around the glass. When damaged or worn,
a poor seal around the glass will result in lower performance or temperatures.
