•  Frequency:  When  ash  reaches  the  top  of  the  brick

covers  (should  not  spill  over  covers).    Leave  1/4  inch

(6mm) of ash in the bottom of the firebox.

•  By: Homeowner

•  Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
•  The closed container should be placed on a noncombustible

floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible

materials, pending final disposal.

•  If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise

locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed 

container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled

•  Frequency: Every 2 months during heating season or

as  recommended  by  a  certified  chimney  sweep;  more

frequently if chimney exceeds or is under 14-16 feet (4.3 

to 4.8m) measured from bottom of appliance.

•  By: Certified chimney sweep

•  Remove all ash from the firebox and extinguish all hot

embers before disposal.

•  Allow the appliance to cool completely.
•

If your type of installation involves a full reline of the 

chimney, it will be necessary to either remove the baffle

from the insert, or remove the insert from the fireplace

and disconnect the vent prior to cleaning the chimney.  

Refer to 

page 23 in this manual for instructions on Baffle

Removal.

•

If your type of installation is direct connect within a masonry 

chimney, the insert will need to be pulled out from the 

fireplace and disconnected from the flue prior to cleaning

the chimney. 

•  The  creosote  or  soot  should  be  removed  with  a  brush

specifically designed for the type of chimney in use.

•  Clean out fallen ashes from the firebox.
•  It is also recommended that before each heating season 

the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned 

and repaired if necessary.

•

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other 

organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture 

to form creosote.

•

The  creosote  vapors  condense  in  the  relatively  cool

chimney flue of a slow-burning fire.

  

•

As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue

lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely

hot fire.

•

The chimney and chimney connector shall be inspected

every two months during the heating season to determine 

when a creosote buildup has occurred.

  

•

When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to 

reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

•  Frequency: Every 2 months at the same time the chim-

ney and chimney connector are inspected.

•  By: Homeowner

Check for:
•  Cracks in glass
•  Door handle - smooth cam operation
•  Baffle and ceramic blanket correct placement

•

Baffle for warpage

•  Firebrick for cracks, broken or crumbly
•  Door gasket. (Dollar bill test). Place a dollar bill between

the stove and the door and then shut the door.  If you can 

pull the dollar bill out, replace the door gasket.

•  Glass frame for loose screws

•  Frequency: As desired
•  By: Homeowner

•  Clean all the fingerprints and oils from plated surfaces

BEFORE firing the appliance for the first time.

•  If not cleaned properly before lighting your first fire, the

oils can cause permanent markings on the plating.

•  After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the finish

and little maintenance is required.  

•

Wipe clean as needed.
