Every year you should inspect the firebox and door to make sure they are clean and functional.
WARNING: Failure to inspect and maintain your heater may lead to improper
burning inside the heater, leading to a dangerous situation.
Inspecting the Firebox
The firebox should be inspected and cleaned of any soot or dust that may have been drawn into
the heater. To do this, follow the directions below.
1. Remove the door (see the illustration below).

3.
2.
Swing the
door open.
Lift the
door off
the hinges
(use both
hands).
4.
When replacing the
handle make sure
the handle is facing
outwards, otherwise
it may burn.
2. Remove the logs and coals (see the instructions on the following page).
3. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to vacuum any dirt off the
burner pan (see the illustration below). The rear log is fragile and should not be
vacuumed. Inspect the burner pan and firebox for any deterioration. If it shows
signs of deterioration, call your dealer for a full inspection. There should be no
soot in the firebox, except for a small amount on the logs where the flames brush
up against them. If there is additional soot, the heater may need adjustment.
Contact your dealer for information.
