INSULATION INSERT REPLACEMENT

At the end of each burning season inspect the fi re box door fi bre insulation and guard for deterioration or
breakage. Replace if necessary.
1. When the appliance is cool, open the door and place the
door frame down careful not to scratch the paint.
2. Remove the two bolts holding the fi bre insulation and guard
to the door.
3. Remove and replace the fibre insulation and/or guard as
necessary. Pay close attention to the correct position of the fibre
insulation and guard. The angled side of the insulation MUST
be positioned towards the top of the door.
4. Replace the two bolts and tighten them lightly. Over tightening
the bolts may cause damage to the fibre insulation and will not
allow the guard to expand in the heat.
5. Inspect the fibreglass gasket around the edges of the metal
plate behind the fibre insulation. Replace as necessary. The
entire insert, gasket, insulation, and guard can be replaced as a kit.
NOTE
For replacement fi bre insulation, guard, or insert kit see "REPLACEMENTS" section.

CREOSOTE FORMATION AND REMOVAL

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to
form creosote. These creosote vapors condense in the relatively cooler chimney fl ue of a slow burning fi re. As
a result, creosote residue accumulates on the fl ue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot
fi re.
The chimney, chimney connector, and heat exchangers (if equipped), should be inspected at least once every
week during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. Be aware that the hotter the
fi re, the less creosote is deposited, and a weekly cleaning might be necessary in mild weather, even though a
substantially longer period without cleaning may be suffi cient in colder months.
If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fi re.
