ASH DISPOSAL/ ASH PAN AREA
Ashes should be removed from the stove every few days or when ashes get to 2 to 3 inches deep. Always empty the
stove when it is cold, such as in the morning. Remove any accumulated ash or fallen pellets from the ash pan area. An
Ash Vac greatly aids in this process and can be purchased from your local dealer. Ashes should be placed in a steel
container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non combustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the close container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Other waste shall not be placed in this container
.
CAUTIONS:
• ASHES COULD CONTAIN HOT EMBERS EVEN AFTER TWO DAYS WITHOUT OPERATING THE STOVE.
•
KEEP ASH PAN AREA CLEAN.
• THE ASH PAN CAN BECOME VERY HOT. WEAR GLOVES TO PREVENT INJURY.
• NEVER BURN THE STOVE WITH THE ASH TRAP OPEN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN OVER FIRING THE STOVE..
DAMAGE TO THE STOVE AND EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
GLASS
• Inspect and clean the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks. If you spot one, schedule to replace 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 nuts retaining the glass clips inside the door. Remove the clips and replace the dam
-
aged piece with a new one. Perform the procedure backwards after replacing. 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.
GASKETING
It is recommended that you change the gaskets (which makes your stove air tight) once a year, in order to insure good
control over the combustion, maximum efficiency and security. To change the gaskets, 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.
WARNING:
• NEVER OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT A GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN ONE. DAM
-
AGE TO THE APPLIANCE OR EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
PAINT
Only clean your stove with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint finish. If the paint becomes scratched or damaged,
it is possible to give your wood pellet stove a brand new look, by repainting it with a 1200° F heat resistant paint that can
be purchased from your dealer. For this purpose, simply scrub the surface to be repainted with fine sand paper, clean it
properly, and apply thin coats (2) of paint successively.
