At the End of Every Week:
Empty ashes from the firebox and ash pan,
sooner if the firebox or the ash pan is full.
At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
Depending upon your use of the stove, visually
inspect the chimney connector and chimney for
creosote. (see page 26)
Check door seals using the "dollar bill test." -
When the stove is cool, shut the door on a dollar
bill. If the bill pulls out without any resistance,
then your stove’s door is not sealing properly. To
tighten the seal, adjust the door latch
mechanism or change the door gasket. (Refer to
page 26.)
At the End of Every Season:
Dismantle the chimney connector and clean it
thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show signs
of rust or deterioration.
Inspect and, if necessary, clean your chimney.
Clean out the inside of the stove thoroughly.
Inspect all door gasket material and replace if
worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
