General Maintenance
Like your car, regular maintenance prolongs the life of your
appliance. The following procedures do not take long and
are generally inexpensive, but when done consistently,
increase the life of your appliance and in turn, increase
your years of enjoyment.
At least once a year you should perform the following
maintenance procedures:
• Thoroughly clean the stove. Enamel surfaces should
be cleaned with soap and water.
• Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a vacuum
for this job if the vacuum is specifically designed for
ashes.
• Inspect the stove; using a strong light inspect the stove
inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace all cracked
parts and repair any cement leaks with furnace
cement.
Gaskets
Check door and window gaskets for tightness. To check
the seal of the front doors, close and latch the doors on a
dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill free. If it
can be easily removed then the seal is too loose. Check
several spots around the door, and repeat the procedure
on the ash pan door as well.
If gaskets need to be replaced, scrape out the old gasket
and cement and clean the area with a wire brush. Apply a
small bead of cement and push in the new gasket. After
closing and latching the doors wipe clean, any excessive
cement that has come from beneath the gasketing.

outside air to your F 400 Castine wood stove. Guidelines
