Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and
firing technique. Check daily for creosote build-up until
experience shows how often you need to clean to be
safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the less creosote
is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary
in mild weather even though monthly cleaning may
be enough in the coldest months. Contact your local
municipal or provincial fire authority for information
on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a clearly
understood plan to handle a chimney fire.
CLEANING GLASS
Be certain the stove and the glass are completely cool.
The build-up on the glass will generally be light and
water is normally sufficient to remove the deposits. If
stubborn soot persists, use a cleaner made specifically
for this purpose. Rinse the glass with clean water and
dry the glass before resuming normal operation. These
cleanings help prevent the accumulation of acidic ash
build up which can weaken the glass and result in
cracks. It is not acceptable to operate the stove with
cracked or broken glass.
WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WITH
ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR BY ANY OTHER
PROCESS WHICH MAY SCRATCH OR DAMAGE
THE GLASS. DO NOT CLEAN WHEN HOT!
REPLACING GLASS

Replace the door glass only with 5 mm high-
temperature ceramic single-pane glass. The glass size
is 15 in.(381 mm) x 1 1.25 in.(285.75 mm). DO NOT

4. Lift the old glass panel out of the door and discard.
5. The glass panel must be wrapped with a self-
adhesive fiberglass rope gasket. If you purchased a
new glass, it will come already wrapped. If reusing
the same piece of glass, remove old gasket, scrape
off old adhesive and wrapped with the new gasket.
This gasket serves to cushion the glass from the
cast iron door.
6. Reinstall the window retaining tabs using the ten
screws previously removed. Do not over-tighten the
screws.
REMOVING DAMAGED GASKETS

fiberglass rope) may lose their rigidity. These seals are
essential for providing a seal which allows the stove
to operate safely. Inspect the gaskets periodically, and
if they become worn contact the manufacturer for
information on original or equivalent gasket.
To replace the gasket:
1. Ensure that all coals and fuel are extinguished and
that the stove is cool to the touch.
2. Remove old gasket and clean the gasket gutter.
3. Apply a thin coat of high temperature gasket
cement along the inside of the gasket gutter.
4. Press the beginning of the replacement gasket into
the most up and most left position of the prepared
gasket gutter.
5. Continue pressing the replacement gasket clockwise
along the gasket gutter until it has wrapped back
to where the gasket was pressed in initially.
6. Trim any excess replacement gasket away ,and
press the remaining butt into the gutter to
complete the seal.
