Your wood furnace is a high efficiency furnace and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to
perform a visual inspection of the furnace every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no parts have been
damaged, in which case repairs must be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector
pipe periodically for creosote buildup or obstructions.
GLASS
• Inspect and clean the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks. If you spot one, turn the furnace off
immediately. Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the furnace if the glass is
broken.
• If the glass on your furnace 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 furnaces are sold. The glass should be washed only when cold.
GASKET
It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which makes your furnace 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 furnace again approximately 24
hours after having completed this operation. This unit’s feed door uses a 3/4” diameter rope gasket. This unit’s
ash door uses a 1/2” diameter rope gasket.
PAINT
Only clean your furnace with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint finish. If the paint becomes scratched or
damaged, it is possible to give your wood furnace a brand new look by repainting it with a 1200° F heat resistant
paint. For this purpose, simply scrub the surface to be repainted with fine sand paper, clean it properly, and apply
thin coats (2) of paint successively.
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 furnace without a gasket or with a broken one. Damage to the furnace or
even house fire may result.
Maintenance
