HECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at the specified
intervals.
At the End of Every Week:
•
Empty ashes from the firebox and ash pan,
sooner if the firebox or the ash pan begins to
fill up.
At the Beginning of Every Month:
•
Visually inspect chimney connector and
chimney for creosote; clean accordingly.
At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
•
A visual inspection of the chimney
connector and chimney for creosote is
recommended depending upon your use of
the stove. (Refer to page 23 – Creosote
Formation and Need For Removal)
•
Check door seals using the "dollar bill test."
- When the fire is out and the stove is cool,
shut the door on a dollar bill. If the bill pulls
out without any resistance, then your stove’s
door isn't sealed properly. To tighten the
seal, change the door gasket. (Refer to page
24 – Gaskets)
At the End of Every Season:
•
Dismantle the chimney connector and clean
it thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show
signs of rust or deterioration.
•
Inspect and, if necessary, clean your
chimney.
•
Thoroughly clean out the inside of the stove.
•
Inspect all door gasket material and replace
if worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
