NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
DOOR HINGES:
If door hinges need lubricating, use an anti-seize com-
pound (never use oil) available from your IHP dealer.
DOOR LATCH:
If your door latch fails to latch tightly and the gasket is
in good condition, place a length of pipe (cheater bar) over the inside
portion of the door handle and bend slightly toward the door until the
proper adjustment is obtained. If the door handle does not close easily,
apply high temperature anti-seize to the striker.
DOOR GASKET:
Periodically check gasket to make sure it is not over-
compressed. If compressed, replace with a special woven door rope.
(Don’t try substituting rope, only use special IHP door rope).
PLATED ACCESSORIES:
Clean only with a household type glass cleaner
and a very soft cotton cloth. Other products may damage plated finish,
paint and gaskets.
BAFFLE BLANKET:
Your baffle blanket should be inspected during every
chimney cleaning. If the blanket is compressed or heavily stained, it
should be replaced. Heavy creosote stains or matting is an indication of
improper use and your burning habits should be reviewed.
GLASS CLEANING:
Only clean glass with products specifically made to
use on wood stoves. Other products could damage gaskets and paint.
Never scrape glass with a razor blade. This can pit the glass and make it
impossible to clean in the future.
WINDOW GASKET:
The window gasket can be checked by running the
flame of a match near the gasket and around the door. If the flame is
drawn in around the window, the gasket should be replaced.
DOOR HANDLE:
Door handle may become tight as you use the fireplace
insert. Free the handle up by using dry graphite supplied with the fireplace
insert. The directions are included with the graphite.
WARNING
Inspect and clean chimney and connector frequently.
Under certain conditions of use, creosote buildup
may occur rapidly. See Installing the Insert on
Page
12
for instructions on removing the appliance for
cleaning (reverse order of instructions).
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Cleaning Glass: Ensure appliance is cold prior
to cleaning glass. A commercial glass cleaner
designed for stoves is recommended. Do not use
abrasive cleaners. Do not clean with any materials,
which may scratch or otherwise damage the glass.
Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or
break. Inspect the glass regularly. If you detect a
crack, extinguish the fire and contact your dealer
for a replacement.
GLASS REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. Remove Door Assembly
- Open door to remove E clip from the upper
hinge pin. Remove upper hinge pin by pulling up while holding the op-
posite side of the door. Lift door out of the lower hinge pin and place
face down on a soft surface.
Step 2. Remove Door Back Screws (6 ea.)
- Using a 5/32” allen wrench remove
the 6 retainer screws from the faceplate. To locate screws, peel back the
door gasket as necessary.
Step 3. Disassemble Door Assembly
- Flip door assembly over to be face up.
Separate faceplate from door back by pulling up on faceplate.
Step 4. Remove Glass
- Carefully remove broken glass one piece at a time
(protective gloves are recommended)
Step 5. Install New Glass Assembly
- Install the new glass with gasket in recess
on door back (use only factory supplied 5mm ceramic glass. Do not
substitute).
Step 6. Reinstall Faceplate and Screws
- Reinstall faceplate onto door back
and while holding the door assembly together flip the assembly back
onto it’s face. Carefully reinstall the screws. Be very careful not to
overtighten the screws (this could result in glass breakage when the
stove or fireplace insert is hot) and it is highly recommended to use anti
seize on the screws.
Step 7. Reinstall Door
- Set door assembly back into the lower hinge mount
while holding the handle side of the door up. Place the upper hinge
pin back in the mount and door assembly. Reinstall the E clip that was
removed.

GLASS CLEANING GUIDELINES
WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN APPLIANCE IS HOT!
Glass on any wood stove or fireplace insert will not stay perfectly clean.
Here are some guidelines for cleaning and caring for the glass:
• Ensure the stove or fireplace insert is cold prior to cleaning glass.
• This appliance is designed to provide a flow of air over the inside of
the glass, where along with high heat helps inhibit build-up on the
glass. When build-up occurs, a commercial glass cleaner designed
for stoves is recommended. Regular household glass cleaners will
not clean creosote.
• Do not use abrasives such as steel pads, steel wool or oven cleaner
as they will scratch the glass. Never scrape glass with a razor blade
as this may pit the glass and make it impossible to clean in the future.
• Do not use chemical glass cleaners as they may damage the gaskets
or painted surfaces.
TIPS FOR KEEPING THE GLASS CLEAN
• Burn only dry seasoned cord wood. Wet wood = Dirty glass.
• A short, hot fire (15 - 20 minutes) may help to clean off some of the
normal buildup. Lower burns = more build-up. Higher burns = less
build-up.
• Keep freshly loaded wood away from the glass.
• After reloading, allow all the wood to catch flame before dampering
down the stove or fireplace insert.
