Attention: 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.
GLASS
•
Inspect and clean the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks. If you spot one, turn the stove off
immediately. Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if the glass is
broken.
•
If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with the glass supplied from your heater dealer. Never
substitute other materials for the glass.
•
To replace the glass, remove the screws retaining the glass mouldings inside the door. Remove the
mouldings and replace the damaged piece with a new one. Perform the procedure backwards after
replacing. When replacing the glass, you should change the glass gasket to make sure you keep it sealed.
•
Never wash the glass with a product that may scratch. Use a specialized product, available in the stores
where wood stoves are sold. The glass should be washed only when cold.
GASKETING
It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which makes your stove door air tight) once a year, in
order to insure good control over the combustion, maximum efficiency and security. To change the door gasket,
simply remove the damaged one. Carefully clean the available gasket groove, apply a high temperature
silicone sold for this purpose, and install the new gasket. You may light up your stove again approximately 24
hours after having completed this operation. This unit’s door uses a 1/2” diameter rope gasket.
HIGH TEMPERATURE STOVE PAINT REPAIR
•
If the painted portions of your stove need re coating it is possible to give those pieces a brand new look by
repainting it with a 1200°F heat resistant stove paint.
• Scrub the surface to be repainted with fine sand paper.
•
Clean it properly.
•
Apply thin coats (2-3) of paint successively.
During the curing process there are changes in the paint causing it to give off an odor and some visible smoke.
The fumes are non-toxic, but can be unpleasant. Ventilate and vacate the room to avoid discomfort. Once the
curing is complete there will be no odor or smoke. After re-coating portions of your stove remember to follow
the curing process as discussed in the first fire section of this manual.
AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide an accurate mix of secondary air to insure the
highest efficiency. Any damage or deterioration of these tubes may reduce the efficiency of combustion. The
air tubes are held in position by either screws or snap pins. Locate these to either side of the tube and remove to
allow the tube to be removed and replaced.
WARNING: Never operate the stove without a gasket or with a broken one. Damage to the stove or even
house fire may result.
