CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
SMOKE & CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and
carbon monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous
gas when exposed to elevated concentrations for
extended periods. While the modern combustion
systems in heaters drastically reduce the amount of
CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases
in closed or confined areas can be dangerous. Make
sure your stove gaskets and chimney joints are in
good working order and sealing properly to ensure
unintended exposure. It is recommended that you
use both smoke and CO monitors in areas having
the potential to generate CO.
GLASS CARE
• Inspect and clean the glass regularly to detect
any cracks. If you spot one, turn the stove off
immediately. Do not abuse the glass door by
striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if
the glass is broken.
• If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with
the glass supplied from your heater dealer. Never
substitute other materials for the glass.
• To replace the glass, remove the screws retaining
the glass moldings inside the door. Remove the
moldings and replace the damaged piece with a
new one. Perform the procedure backward after
replacing it. When replacing the glass, you should
change the glass gasket to make sure you keep it
sealed.
• Never wash the glass with a product that may
scratch. Use a specialized product, available in
the stores where wood stoves are sold. The glass
should be washed only when cold.
GASKET CARE
WARNING:
NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITHOUT A
GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN ONE. DAMAGE
TO THE STOVE OR EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY
RESULT.
This unit’s door uses a 3/4” diameter rope gasket.
It is recommended that you change the door
gasket (which makes your stove door air tight)
once a year, in order to ensure good control over
the combustion, maximum efficiency and security.
To change the door gasket, simply remove the
damaged one. Carefully clean the available gasket
groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for
this purpose, and install the new gasket. You may
light up your stove again approximately 24 hours
after having completed this operation.
