Maintenance
B. Refractory
Thereboxislinedwithmoldedrefractoryrebrick.The
refractory protects the outside of the appliance and retains
theheatnecessaryforacleanefcientburn.Thematerial
is a porous ceramic material that can break from abuse.
Occasionally, surface cracks may propagate from normal
use through the heating and cooling cycle. Surface cracks
are normal and should only be a concern when the crack
causes the refractory to not remain in place on its own.
C. Bafe Material
Therearetwobafeplatesinthetopoftheunit.The
purpose of these plates is to restrict and direct the
combustion gases to allow for complete combustion of the
gassespriortoexitingthereboxandenteringtheue.
Thelowerbafeplateissupportedonthesidesbytwo
steel pins and in the rear by resting on the back refractory
panel.
Theupperbafepanelissupportedbytwobrackets,one
oneachsideofthetopoftherebox.Duringannual
chimneymaintenance,thesetwobafepanelsmustbe
removedpriortosweeping.Notdoingsowillresultin
broken panels. Similar to the refractory panels lining the
insideoftherebox,thebafepanelsaresubjecttowear
and tear and are subject to warranty limitations.
D. Proper Burn
• Removeashfromreboxandashpanregularlyto
ensure proper air supply
• Useonly1-3piecesofwoodquarteredandplaced
tooptimizeairow(seeFigure01)
• Adjusttheupperaircontroltoensurethatenough
airisbeingsuppliedtotherebox,thereshould
alwaysbeavisibleamewithminimalsmoke
• Fuelshouldneverbestackedabovetheupperair
inlets(seeFigure01)
E. Coated Surfaces
Tocleanthestovedustwithalint-freeclothorcleaning
device. If the topcoat is damaged it is possible to purchase
a repair spray from your local dealer. It is possible that this
spraymaybeslightlydifferentfromtheoriginalcoat.For
best results, use repair spray in wide area in order to create
asubtletransitionfromonecolortothenext.Forsafety
purposes apply spray when stove is cold, the difference in
colormaybeverynoticeablewhenrstapplied.However,
afterringagainitshouldmatchveryclosetooriginalcolor.
F. Cleaning the Glass
Thisstoveisdesignedtominimizedsootbuild-up.To
attain this the stove must be burned properly, see section
For Proper Burn. However even when burned properly a
slight buildup of soot can occur. To clean you can use dry
cloth and regular glass cleaner or specialized stove glass
cleaning products.
