Soft cloths should be used for all cleaning steps. The cloths should be free of any
abrasive agents from any previous use.
Dried on cleaning solutions may react with glass surface causing discoloration or a
permanent film.
While
ROBAX

manufacturer does not warranty the glass.
Ash Pan Emptying
To prevent toxic carbon monoxide gases from entering the home, certain precautions
must be taken.
1.
Ash pan must be emptied on a regular basis to prevent ashes from overflowing
into ash pit area. Excessive ash accumulation may impede air flow to chimney,
preventing gases to be drawn up chimney.
2.
Fire door and ash door must be kept closed at all times during normal operation.
3.
It is necessary to keep coal in hopper while stove is in operation.
4.
In most applications it is sufficient to clean stove and stove pipe twice during
heating season. However, under extreme weather conditions, or high demand
on stove running periods, the stove and stove pipe may need more frequent
cleaning. Clean as often as necessary.
CAUTION: ASH PAN IS HOT-Always Use Gloves to Remove Ash Pan
1.
Before removing ash pan, turn switch off, or pull power cord plug from 110V
outlet.
2.
Open ash door.
3.
Use a good pair of gloves, to remove ash pan.
4.
Place filled ash pan on a non-combustible surface.
5.
Slide an empty ash pan into stove.
6.
Close ash door.
7.
Turn switch on or plug power cord back into 110V outlet.
For Direct Vent Stoves
Fan blade and fan blade chamber may have to be cleaned several times during
heating season. (See Cleaning instructions)
The 4” exhaust pipe going through outside wall of home should also be cleaned when
fan chamber is being cleaned.
If 4” exhaust pipe is not going straight out through outside wall and 4” pipe is in a
vertical position to access an area above outside grade, the 4” elbow is a common
location for dust to accumulate and restrict exhaust air flow to outside of home. A 4”
tee may also be used in place of a 4” elbow. This will allow the bottom of tee to be
used as a collection point (out of the flow of exhaust gases) providing an easier access
for cleaning and less chance for restriction or blockage.
