APPENDIX B: MAINTENANCE GUIDE
(CONT’D)
Cleaning the Glass To clean glass, use a mild non-abrasive cleaner
when the stove and glass are COOL. Creosote
builds up on glass quicker when a fire is burned at
lower heat settings. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners
on glass. (Glass may crack if subjected to cold
liquid cleaners while the glass is still hot. Using
cleaner on hot glass may also cause burns, emit
fumes and the glass is more likely to stain.)
Cleaning the Gold Doors (optional
feature) Doors should be wiped down regularly to ensure the
luster of the door system lasts. Always use an
approved glass cleaner (i.e. Windex, Glass Plus)
and a lint free soft cloth to polish the door frame.
Do not use abrasives like steel wool, brass polish or
adhesive cleaners like comet, as these will scratch
the finish.
Door Air Wash Periodically clean out the door air wash (a groove at
the bottom of the door). This air wash directs air
over the glass door to minimize soot buildup on the
door.
General/Yearly
Maintenance Exhaust Venting System After using your stove, you will observe small
particles of fly-ash. The fly-ash will collect in the
exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the
flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs
during start-up, shut down, or incorrect operation of
the room heater will lead to some soot formation
which will collect in the exhaust venting system.
The exhaust venting system should be inspected at
least once every year to determine if cleaning is
necessary.
Air Intakes When starting to use the stove at the beginning of
the season, check to ensure that the fresh air intake
is clear and unobstructed.
Oiling the Room Air and Exhaust
Blowers If supplied with oil ports, the room air & exhaust
motors will need to be oiled at least once per season
with PROPER oil. Locate the oil ports on either the
side or top of the units and add three drops of oil.
This simple step will greatly increase the life and
serviceability of your unit.
Checking the tension on the Chain
Drive of the Stirring Paddles. Locate the chain drive by opening the left side
door (control panel side). Chain tension should be
approximately 1/2” play. If the chain is too loose,
adjust the chain drive motor by loosening the 4
bolts securing it and sliding it back until there is
proper play in the chain. Re-tighten the bolts. The
chain should be checked monthly.
Inspecting the Door Gasket This is done by taking a 2” long strip of paper and
shutting the door on it. Then pull the paper to test
the gasket pressure. You should have to pull the
paper from the door. Check all around the gasket. If
the paper slides out easily or falls out, the gasket
needs to be replaced. Country Flame recommends
that both the door and glass gaskets be replaced at
the same time.
