enough to keep the chimney warm preventing this
condensation.
3. If the fire burns well but sometimes creates exces-
sive smoke or burns slowly, it may be caused by
the chimney top being lower than another part of
the house or a nearby tree. The wind blowing over
a house or tree, falls on top of the chimney like
water over a dam, beating down the smoke. The
top of the chimney should be at least three (3) feet
above the roof and be at least two (2) feet higher
than any point of the roof within ten (10) feet.
NOTE: A DRAFT READING OF 0.05 TO 0.06
W.C. (WATER COLUMN) IS SUGGESTED FOR
PROPER BURNING OF THIS STOVE.
GLASS CARE
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE WITH CRACKED
OR BROKEN GLASS.
Periodic cleaning of glass will be necessary to pre-
vent accumulations of ash. Ash buildup can eventually
etch and weaken glass. Creosote accumulations should
burn off during hot fires. The following usage and safety
tips should be observed:
1. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and breaks.
If you detect a crack or break, extinguish the fire
immediately and contact the manufacturer for a
replacement before re-firing the stove.
2. Do not slam the door or otherwise impact the glass.
When closing doors, make sure that logs or other
objects do not protrude to impact the glass.
3. Do not build fires against (or that might fall against)
the glass.
4. Do not clean the glass with materials that may
scratch or damage glass. Scratches on the glass
can develop into cracks or breaks during operation.
5. Never attempt to clean the glass while the unit is hot;
allow to dry thoroughly before reuse. If deposits are
not very heavy, normal glass cleaners are adequate
using a soft, non-abrasive cleaning pad.
6. Never put substances which can ignite explosively
in the unit. Even small explosions in confined areas
can blow out the glass.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
WARNING: REPLACE GLASS WITH PROPER
SIZE 5MM HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC
GLASS ONLY. DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE
MATERIALS SUCH AS TEMPERED GLASS OR
DOUBLE THICK WINDOW GLASS! CONTACT
THE STOVE MANUFACTURER FOR REPLACE-
MENT GLASS.
Gasket and Glass cleaning products are available
at local retail home centers. Manufacturers of cleaning
products include, A.W. Perkins Co. (www.awperkins.
com) or Rutland Products (www.rutland.com).
After extensive use, the gasket material which
provides glass and door seal may lose it’s resiliency
and will need to be replaced. Inspect glass and door
gaskets periodically to ensure proper seal; if gaskets
become frayed or worn, replace immediately.
Glass Replacement Procedure:
1. Ensure appliance is not in operation and is thor-
oughly cooled.
2. Remove screw and glass clips. (See parts list and
diagram.)
3. Remove glass from door frame.
4. If glass is broken, carefully remove and discard
each broken piece to avoid cuts. Discard window
gasket. Replace window and gasket with original
factory replacement parts.
5. Replace new gasket starting at the bottom of glass
working along edges, being sure to center gasket
channel on glass.
6. Trim to length and butt ends together.
7. Perform replacement procedure in reverse order
after replacing glass and gasket.
8. When replacing glass into door, be sure not to
overtighten screws and clips.
DOOR GASKET REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE A STOVE THAT
IS MISSING DOOR GASKET MATERIAL. OVER
FIRING AND UNSAFE OPERATING CONDI-
TIONS MAY RESULT.
PROCEDURE:
1. Ensure appliance is not in operation and is thor-
oughly cooled.
2. Remove old door gasket and clean channel.
3. Using an approved, high temperature gasket ce-
ment, apply a thin coat in bottom of channel.
4. Starting at hinge side of door, work gasket into
channel around door unit, end butt and trim to
length.
5. Close door and allow three to four hours for cement
to set before firing appliance.
OPTIONAL BLOWER MAINTENANCE
The optional blower is maintenance free other than
