2) If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Hire a
chimney sweep, or clean the chimney yourself with a tight-fitting chimney brush.
Makeshift
equipment - hoses, tire chains, etc. - can damage the flue and/or do an unsatisfactory cleaning job.
The stove should also be inspected at this time and cleaned if needed.
3) To inspect and clean the chamber inside the stove, allow the fire to go out and the stove to cool
down. Remove the first section of pipe above the stove. Inspect and clean the area immediately
below the flue exit.
Heavy accumulations of creosote and ash in the secondary chamber, if not
removed, may ignite and cause a very intense fire which could structurally damage the stove.
4) Re-install the first section of pipe to the stove. Refer to the Installation Instructions.
LOADING DOOR GASKET MAINTENANCE
Safe and efficient operation of any airtight woodstove depends greatly on the integrity of the gaskets.
Check the loading door gasket at the beginning of the heating season and at least twice during the
heating season. When the gasket is frayed or no longer seals, it must be replaced (see your dealer)
Inspect the gasket for physical deterioration, missing sections or obvious leakage. To check the
gasket further, insert a piece of paper into the door opening and close and latch the door. Obvious
resistance should be felt when pulling the paper out. Repeat this check several times around the
perimeter of the door.
ADJUSTING THE DOOR CATCH TENSION
The door catch on the front of the stove is adjustable. If you need to adjust the door to ensure a
gasket air seal around the door, loosen the lock nut. Rotate the catch clockwise to tighten the gasket.
Make this adjustment one turn at a time and be careful not to over tighten, that could place excess
strain on the door and glass.
REPLACING THE DOOR GASKET
1) If the door gasket is to be replaced, be sure you have a replacement part ready to re-install. See
your Blaze King dealer.
2) Be sure the fire is out and the stove has cooled down. The door does not have to be removed
from the stove. With a pair of pliers, pull the old door gasket out of the channel and dispose of it.
3) Clean out the channel so the new gasket can fit smoothly.
4) Run a small bead of a door gasket adhesive (see your Blaze King dealer) or high temperature
silicone adhesive along the center of the channel. Start the new gasket in the lower right corner. Do
not stretch or cut the gasket. Distribute the gasket evenly around the frame.
5) Adjust the door catch on the stove front to ensure a proper seal, do not over tighten the door catch
as it could place too much pressure on the door frame and glass. See "Adjusting the door catch
tension" above.
6) Close the Loading Door and allow the adhesive to dry.
7) Check the fit of the door gasket. Insert a piece of paper into the door opening and close and latch
the door. Obvious resistance should be felt when pulling the paper out. Repeat this check several
times around the perimeter of the door. See "Adjusting the door catch tension" above.
