MAINTENANCE

1. Clean painted or plated trim with soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use any metal polish or abrasives.

2. Keep the glass relatively clean. Dirty windows will make the fireplace overheat. Wait until the glass is cool

before attempting to clean it. Wash the glass with window or oven cleaner, dishwashing liquid or just soap

and water. Spray the cleaner on a soft cloth and not on the glass, since overspray may discolor the painted

finish or plating (not covered by the warranty). DO NOT use steel wool, soap pads (S.O.S.) or any other

abrasive product since these may scratch the glass.

3. To remove the ashes, lift the log support. Put the ashes in a metal container with an airtight lid. Place the

container on a non-combustible surface away from any flammables until the ashes are cold.

4. Before each heating season, inspect the interior and exterior of the fireplace and chimney for any defects or

deterioration.

5. To reduce the risk of chimney fires, keep the chimney relatively clean and regularly check for creosote

buildup. To open the rain cap, just unscrew it counter-clockwise. Any layer of creosote greater than 1/8”

(3 mm) thick should be swept. Use a plastic brush to avoid scratching the flue.

6. Lubricate the bearing system on both sides of the box twice a year so the doors continue to work properly.

Use a lubricant such as WD-40 or graphite.

REPLACING GLASS

Do not use the fireplace with a cracked glass.

Here are the steps to replace glass windows of a Manoir fireplace:

1. Cut the silicone joint holding the broken glass to the frame.

2. Remove all debris from the frame.

3. Use only 3/16” (5 mm) ceramic glass.

4. Slide the new window into the frame and fasten it in place with temperature-resistant silicone.

5. Handle the glass with care to avoid injury.

6. Allow to dry for 24 hours.

NOTE: Never use substitute parts. Use only Valcourt brand parts.
