Maintenance

Your wood stove is a high-efficiency stove and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform 

a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, to ensure that no parts have been damaged, in which 

case repairs must be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe periodically 

for creosote build-up or obstructions.

AIR TUBES

The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide an accurate mix of secondary air to ensure the 

highest efficiency. Any damage or deterioration of these tubes may reduce the efficiency of combustion. The air 

tubes are held in position by screws or snap pins. Locate these to either side of the tube and remove it to allow 

the tube to be removed and replaced.

SECONDARY AIR TUBES

The secondary air tubes must be cleaned with a wire brush. If debris remains in holes lightly tap with a wooden 

stick to remove.

GLASS

• 

Inspect and clean the glass regularly to detect any cracks. If you spot one, turn the stove off 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 screws retaining the glass moldings inside the door. Remove the moldings 

and replace the damaged piece with a new one. Perform the procedure backward after replacing it. 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.

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 stove a brand new look, by repainting it with a 1200° F heat resistant 

paint. For this purpose, simply scrub the surface to be repainted with fine sandpaper, clean it properly, and apply 

thin coats (2) of paint successively.

SMOKE AND CO MONITORS

Burning  wood  naturally  produces  smoke  and  carbon  monoxide(CO)  emissions.  CO  is  a  poisonous  gas  when 

exposed  to  elevated  concentrations  for  extended  periods.  While  the  modern  combustion  systems  in  heaters 

drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or confined areas 

can be dangerous. Make sure your stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order and sealing 

properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and CO monitors in areas 

having the potential to generate CO.

BLOWER (IF EQUIPPED)

The blower needs to be removed and air-blown clean. Make sure the blades do not have build up.

FIREBRICK (IF EQUIPPED)

The firebrick should be cleaned and inspected as necessary. Replace any damaged or broken brick.

GASKETING

This unit’s door uses a 5/8” diameter rope gasket. It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which 

makes your stove door air tight) once a year, in order to ensure good control over the combustion, maximum 

efficiency  and  security.  To  change  the  door  gasket,  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 STOVE WITHOUT A GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN ONE. DAMAGE TO THE STOVE OR EVEN 

HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
