Page 16 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Maintenance Schedule The following schedule should be followed to insure your appliance stays in peak condition. Weekly Maintenance: The following should be done once a week: ASH DISPOSAL CLEANING OF GOLD PLATED SURFACES GLASS CLEANING Bi-Monthly Maintenance: The following should be done every two months during the heating season: DOOR AND WINDOW GASKET INSPECTION LUBRICATE DOOR LATCH INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT CHECK FOR CREOSOTE Yearly Maintenance: The following should be done after each heating season: CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR INSPECTION & CLEANING FIREBOX INSPECTION AND CLEANING APPLIANCE TOUCH-UP BLOWER CLEANING CHIMNEY SYSTEM CLEANING Maintenance Instructions ASH DISPOSAL During constant periods of use ashes must be periodically removed from the appliance to prevent a build-up which will affect the performance and limit the fuel load capacity. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be stored on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from any combustible material, pending final disposal. If the ashes are to be disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste must not be placed in this container. CLEANING OF GOLD PLATED SURFACES Gold is the very best material available for plating fireplace fronts, but it is not indestructible. The most common complaint with any plated surface on a wood burning appliance is discoloration. This can only be caused by heat and chemicals. The discoloration is permanent and cannot be removed without removing the gold plating. The following suggestions will help you keep the shine in your gold plating. Keep plating free of dust and finger prints with DENATURED ALCOHOL applied with a very soft cloth. Do not use any other cleaners or polishes. Do not start a fire if there are finger prints or smudges on the gold plating, as they could become permanently etched in the gold plating. Make sure that the brick or stone is free of acid before installing the gold plating, consult D e n a tured A l c o h o l your mason. Page 17 CARE AND MAINTENANCE (Continued) GLASS CLEANING Clean the glass only when the appliance is cool, using a non-abrasive cleaner. If the glass cracks or breaks, let the appliance cool before replacing it. DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH BROKEN OR MISSING GLASS. IF THE GLASS DOES BREAK, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS IN THE SECTION TITLED "REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS" FOR REPLACING THE GLASS. DOOR AND WINDOW GASKET INSPECTION A damaged or deteriorated window or door gasket will allow air to enter the appliance through the space between the door and firebox. This may allow smoke to enter the room and hamper efficient burning. Inspect the door gasket to make sure it is flexible and completely intact. Any torn or broken gaskets should be replaced by following the directions in the section titled "REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS". Door Gasket Window Gasket LUBRICATE It is highly recommended that you periodically lubricate any moving parts such as the door hinges and combustion air control. This will eliminate any scraping or squeaking noises as well as allow the parts to move freely. A high temperature lubricant, such as Permatex Industrial (R) Anti-seize lubricant, is required. Graphite or low-temperature lubricants will only last a few days. DOOR LATCH INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT The door latch must be tested periodically to insure that a tight seal is being maintained between the door gasket and the fireplace. To test the door latch, close the fireplace door and secure the latch. Grasp the right side door handle and pull it back and forth. There should be approximately 1/16" of play. The handle should also be able to be turned all the way down. This movement is due to the door gasket compressing and expanding. If there is more than 1/16" of play, or if the door handle can not be turned down all the way, follow the directions in the following paragraphs to adjust the door. The door latch ...
