CAUTIONS: Ashes could contain hot embers even after two days without operating the stove.
MAINTENANCE
Your wood stove is a high efciency stove and, therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform
a visual inspection of the stove 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.
GASKETING
It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which makes your stove door air tight) once a year,
in order to insure good control over the combustion, maximum efciency, 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 stove again
approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation.
PAINT
Only clean your stove with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint nish. If the paint becomes scratched or
damaged, it is possible to give your wood stove 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 ne sand paper, clean it properly, and
apply thin coats (2) of paint successively.
SECONDARY AIR TUBES
The secondary air tubes must be cleaned with a wire brush. If debris remains in holes lightly tap with a
wooden stick to remove.
WARNING: Never operate the stove without a gasket or with a broken one. Damage to the stove or even
house re may result.
