3 - REGULAR CHECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at the specified times.
At the end of each week:
• Remove ashes from the combustion chamber
and empty the ash pan. Do this whenever the
combustion chamber or the ash pan is full.
At the beginning of each month:
• Depending on how you use the stove, visually
inspect the chimney and chimney connector
for creosote.
• Check the airtightness of the ceramic joints of
the doors using the "test ticket". - When the
stove is cold - place a ticket in a corner and
start to close the door completely to trap the
ticket. Once the door is closed, try to retrieve
the ticket. If the ticket comes out without
resistance, the stove door does not close
properly. Replace seal.
At the end of each season:
• Remove the chimney connecting pipe and
clean it thoroughly. Replace any parts showing
signs of rust or damage.
• Inspect and, if necessary, clean the chimney.
• Thoroughly clean the inside of the stove.
• Inspect the ceramic door seal and replace if
worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
4 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If the chimney or your stove catches fire, follow
these instructions:
1. If the fire is too threatening, leave the area
immediately and call the fire department. If
not, apply the following three steps.
2. Close all the stove's air intakes.
3. Close the chimney shot (if any).
4. Keep the stove's doors closed.
WARNING! NEVER TRY TO PUT OUT A FIRE BY
THROWING WATER ON THE STOVE OR ON THE
METAL PIPES BELONGING TO THE CHIMNEY.
THESE FIRES ARE EXTREMELY HOT AND MAY
PRODUCE VAPOUR INSTANTLY, CAUSING SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURIES.
Once the fire has been extinguished, leave the
main air control in the closed position and let the
fire inside the stove go out completely. Inspect
the stove, chimney pipes and chimney thoroughly
for any signs of damage before lighting the stove
again. You must repair any damage before reusing
the device.
