Baffl e and blanket placement is critical to heat

T
he chimney and chimney cap must be inspect-
ed for soot and creosote every two months
during the burn season or more frequency if
chimney exceeds or is under 14-16 ft (4.3m-
4.8m) measured from bottom of appliance.
This will prevent pipe blockage, poor draft, and
chimney fi res.
Always burn dry wood to help prevent cap
blockage and creosote build-up.

Ashes must be cool before you can dispose of
the ashes in a non-combustible container.

Keep door and glass gasket in good shape to
maintain good burn times on a low burn setting.
To test: place a dollar bill between the stove and
door and then shut the door. If you can pull the
dollar out, remove one washer from door handle
behind latch cam and try again. If you can still
pull it out, replace the door gasket.
Check the glass frame for loose screws to pre-
vent air leakage. Check glass for cracks.
WEEKLY
or
After Every 25
Loads of Wood
Check the door latch for proper adjustment.
This is very important especially after the door
rope has formed to the stove face.
Check door handle for smooth cam operation.
