The chimney and chimney cap must be inspected for
soot and creosote every two months during the burn
season or more frequency if chimney exceeds or is
under 14-16 ft (4.3m-4.8m) measured from bottom of
appliance.
This will prevent pipe blockage, poor draft, and chim-
ney fires.
Always burn dry wood to help prevent cap blockage
and creosote build-up.

Keep door and glass gasket in good shape to maintain
good burn times on a low burn setting. To test: place
a dollar bill between the appliance and door and then
shut the door. If you can pull the dollar out, remove
one washer from door handle behind latch cam and
try again. If you can still pull it out, replace the door
gasket.
Check the glass frame for loose screws to prevent air
leakage. Check glass for cracks.
YEARLY
Check the door latch for proper adjustment. This
is very important especially after the door rope has
formed to the appliance face.
Check door handle for smooth cam operation.
