1. Wait until stove is shutdown and cool. Wear leather gloves (or any other gloves suitable for handling broken
glass) and safety glasses. Carefully remove any loose pieces of glass from the door frame.
2. Open door and remove glass retainers and remove remaining glass pieces. Dispose of all broken glass
properly.
3. Inspect gasket that are between door frame and glass. Replace if necessary, installing with high temperature
silicone caulk/sealant.
4. Glass dimensions are:
(1) 13.86” x 11.06” (352mm x 281mm)
high temperature ceramic glass that is 0.
2” (5mm)
thick. Glass part number is NC-30-D02. DO NOT USE SUBSTITUE MATERIALS FOR ANY PART OF THIS
STOVE.
5. In the following order, install glass gasket, glass, and glass retainers. Secure with fasteners previously removed.
Do not over tighten as too much stress can crack glass.
See viewing door detail later in this manual for the order in which the parts are to be re-installed after removing.
Gaskets
Check that the gasket is complete and in the correct position to seal properly. The rope gasket around the front door may
require replacing every two years. Install new rope gasket with high temperature silicone caulk/sealant.
IMPORTANT: IMPROPER GASKET MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING FAILURE TO REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN
GASKETS CAN CAUSE AIR LEAKS RESULTING IN SMOKE LEAKAGE.
Carbon Removal
During normal operation carbon from the combustion of pellet fuel will tend to build up on the sides of the burn pot and at
the end of the mouth of the feed tube. It is essential that this residue be removed to ensure trouble free operation of the
unit. To remove this carbon, simply scrape it off using the blade of a flat tipped screwdriver or similar instrument.
Annual Cleaning
When not using the unit for a long period of time, it should be cleaned completely. Shut down the stove and allow to cool.
Perform daily, weekly and monthly cleaning procedures. It is especially important to clean the convection blower, exhaust
blower, intake pipe, venting pipe and underneath the stove.
Vermiculite Board: Remove the side vermiculite fire boards first by lifting the clips off the top. Lift the side board slightly
and pull the bottom out of the holder and then slide down. The back piece can now also be removed. Clean with a brush
and re-install.
Blowers: Remove the convection and exhaust blowers and clean thoroughly with a brush. Place a few drops of bearing
oil on both ends of the blower bearings.
Auger: Empty the hopper of pellets and remove the bracket that holds the auger assembly in place. Clean the auger and
auger channel and drop chute.
Flue System: The stove and the flue system must be given a complete cleaning at the end of the heating season.
Remove exhaust intake covers and take off the venting pipe, clean dust from inside the pipes and elbows. Re-install and
ensure all joints are sealed.
Soot and Fly Ash: Formation and Need for Removal
– The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash.
The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such
as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will
collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to
determine if cleaning is necessary.
