A visual inspection of the chimney connector
and chimney for creosote is recommended
depending upon your use of the stove. (Please
see page 17)
•
Check door seals using the "dollar bill test." -
When the fire is out and the stove is cool, shut
the door on a dollar bill. If the bill pulls out
without any resistance, then your stove’s door
isn't sealed properly. To tighten the seal, change
the door gasket. (Refer to page 18.)
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.
•
Thoroughly clean out the inside of the stove.
•
Inspect all door gasket material and replace if
worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
