STOVE FINISH
All stoves are nished with specially formulated high-temperature paint. During the rst few rings of the stove, a
slight odor of paint may be noticed. This is normal during the curing process; the fumes are not hazardous. If they
should cause irritation, simply crack a door or window for a few minutes to disperse the fumes.
NOTE: Although nontoxic, the fumes may set off a nearby smoke detector.
DOOR GASKET REPLACEMENT
Remove all old gaskets and clean the gasket channel if necessary. Put high-temperature silicone adhesive in the
channel and lay the gasket in so that the ends meet in the bottom right corner of the door back. Press down
slightly.
CHIMNEY OR RUNAWAY FIRE
1. Call local re department (or dial 911)
2. Close the draft fully
3. Examine ue pipes, chimney, attic, and roof of the house, to see if any part has become hot enough to catch re.
If necessary spray with re extinguisher or water from the garden hose.
4. Do not operate the stove again until you are certain the chimney and its’ lining have not been damaged.
CLEANING AND REPLACING THE GLASS
Normally a hot stove will keep the glass clean, but if you must clean the glass, use a soft cloth with no abrasive and
clean only when cold. Never strike or slam the door, hit the glass or let burning wood rest against it. If the glass
cracks when the re is burning, do not open the door until the re is out and do not operate the stove again until
the glass has been replaced.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION:
All homes with a solid fuel burning stove should have at least one re extinguisher in a central location known to all
in the household, and at least one smoke detection devise in the room containing the stove. If it sounds the alarm,
correct the cause but do not deactivate or relocate the smoke detection devise.
MAINTENANCE
At the end of each heating season clean the chimney and the smoke pipe. If soot has accumulated above the top
bafe bricks, remove, clean, and then replace them. If the secondary air tube is badly eroded, replace it. Replace
worn door gaskets and broken bricks as needed. FAILURE TO INSPECT AND CLEAN YOUR CHIMNEY SYSTEM
REGULARLY CAN RESULT IN A CHIMNEY FIRE, WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE CHIMNEY OR CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.
