Stove Maintenance
It is very important that your stove be checked regularly for the following:
1.
Creosote: When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the
relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates
on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. Inspect and clean
chimney frequently – Under certain conditions of use, creosote buildup may occur rapidly. If
creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
2.
Establish a routine for the fuel wood burner and firing technique, Check daily for creosote
build-up until experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the
hotter the fire the less creosote is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild
weather even though monthly cleaning may be enough in coldest months. Contact your local
municipal or provincial fire authority for information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a
clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire.
3.
All firing and ash doors must remain closed during firing. All seals (door and window glass)
must be maintained in good working order.
4.
THE USE OF SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS MAY RESULT IN
POOR PERFORMANCE AND A DANGEROUS CONDITION. TO MAINTAIN YOUR
WARRANTY YOU MUST USE APPROVED REPLACEMENT PARTS.
The checks below should be carried out twice a year
1.
Check for soot and creosote buildup and sign of joint damage. Do not use if flue pipe or
chimney is damaged. To check this, the top baffle must be removed by lifting it up and pulling
out. Clean the baffle before refitting. Do not light the stove until the baffle has been refitted.
Insulation above the baffle must be put back or replaced as necessary.
2.
Make sure the glass is not cracked or chipped and that the rope has a good seal. Failure to
replace frayed rope will result in over firing.
3.
Check that the stove door is tight and well-sealed when closed. Place a strip of paper into the
stove and close the door, try to pull out paper. You should feel some resistance to your pull
check several points around the door. If it pulls out too easily, replace the rope and seal in
place with a suitable high temperature sealant.
