Heater model installaon and operaon manual

e gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and

place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of

the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centred on the gasket. Peel o more of the backing and rotate the

glass and press the next section onto the gasket. Do not stretch the gasket as you place it. Continue until you get to the start and

trim the gasket to length. Now pinch the gasket to the glass in a U shape, all around the glass. Reinstall the glass, being careful

to centre the glass carefully in the door. Do not over-tighten the screws. Note that the two main causes of broken door glass are

uneven placement in the door and over-tightening of retaining screws.

Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if the glass is broken. To change the glass, perform

the same operation described above.

Maintenance of the Chimney and Chimney Connector

Why Chimney Cleaning is Necessary

Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney connector and chimney, forming a combustible deposit called creosote. If creosote

is allowed to build up in the venting system it can ignite when a hot re is burned in the stove and a very hot re can progress to

the top of the chimney. Severe chimney res can damage even the best chimneys. Smouldering, smoky res can quickly cause a

thick layer of creosote to form. When you avoid smouldering so the exhaust from the chimney is mostly clear, creosote builds up

more slowly. Your new stove has the right characteristics to help you to burn clean res with little or no smoke, resulting in less

creosote in the chimney.

How Often Should You Clean the Chimney?

It is not possible to predict how much or how quickly creosote will form in your chimney. It is important, therefore, to check the

build-up in your chimney monthly when getting used to the new stove until you determine the rate of creosote formation. Even if

creosote forms slowly in your system, the chimney should be cleaned and inspected at least once each year.

Contact your local municipal or provincial re authority for information on how to handle a chimney re. Have a clearly under-

stood plan to handle a chimney re.

Cleaning the Chimney

Chimney cleaning can be a dicult and dangerous job. If you don’t have experience cleaning chimneys, you might want to hire

a professional chimney sweep to clean and inspect the system for the rst time. After having seen the cleaning process, you can

decide if it is a job you would like to take on.

e most common equipment used are breglass rods with threaded ttings and sti plastic brushes. e brush is forced up and

down inside the chimney ue to scrub o the creosote.

e chimney connector assembly should always be cleaned at the same time the chimney is cleaned.
