COMBUSTION AIR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance requires a source of combustion air. If your home is of tight construction or has negative pressure problems, you
will need an outside source of air. Below is a list of possible indicators that a source of outside combustion air may be required.
1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or not there is
combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-red equipment in the house, such as replaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate properly, suffer
smoke roll-out when opened, or back-drafts occur whether or not there is combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight tting windows and/or has any powered devices that exhaust
house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
If an outside air intake is required. You may purchase a standard 4” Dryer Vent kit from your local hardware supply store.
If using a Dryer venting kit, the outlet cover must be of a design that DOES NOT close by means of a ap or trap door.
You must purchase a style that allows a continuous in-ow of air and that has a rodent screen.
DRYER VENTING KIT” INSTALLATION
Follow the manufacturers installation instructions for attaching the dryer vent kit to the home. Then attach it to the appliance.

CHIMNEY
Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney, matching the diameter of the stove exhaust. If you
are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or CSA-B365 standard; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It
is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturers specications. Take into account the chimney’s location
to insure it is not too close to neighbors or in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions.
If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specications of the National Building
Code. It must be lined with re clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with re cement. (Round ues are the most efcient).
The interior diameter of the chimney ue must be identical to the stove smoke exhaust. A ue which is too small may cause draft
problems, while a large ue favors rapid cooling of the gas, and hence the build-up of creosote and the risk of chimney res. Note
that it is the chimney and not the stove which creates the draft effect; your stove’s performance is directly dependent on an adequate
draft from your chimney.
Do not connect this unit to a chimney ue serving another appliance.
The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney:
It must rise above the roof at least 3’ (0.9m) from the uppermost point of contact.
The exterior portion should be double or triple wall pipe to ensure proper draft.
The chimney must exceed any part of the building or other obstruction within a 10’ (3.04m) distance by a height of 2’ (0.6m).
Installation of an interior chimney is always preferable to an exterior chimney. The interior chimney will be hotter than an
exterior chimney that is being cooled by the ambient air outside the house. Therefore the gas which circulates will cool slower,
thus reducing the build-up of creosote and the risk of chimney res.
The draft caused by the tendency for hot air to rise will be increased with an interior chimney.
Using a re screen at the extremity of the chimney requires regular inspection in order to insure that it is not obstructed thus
blocking the draft, and it should be cleaned when used regularly.

MASONRY CHIMNEY
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it
inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the
chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry
chimney, special methods are needed as explained in the “5.5 Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs” Section.
VENTILATION

COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS
Method A. 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm)
minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay
liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specication for Clay Fire
Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick
masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles. The clay liner shall
run from the brick masonry outer surface to the inner surface of the chimney
ue liner but not past the inner surface. Firmly grout or cement the clay
liner in place to the chimney ue liner.
Method B. 9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using
a 6” (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built Solid-Pak chimney
section with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, build a wall pass-through
with a minimum 9” (228.6 mm) air space between the outer wall of the
chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet metal supports fastened
securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to maintain the 9” (228.6 mm) air
space. When fastening supports to chimney length, do not penetrate the
chimney liner (the inside wall of the Solid-Pak chimney). The inner end of
the Solid-Pak chimney section shall be ush with the inside of the masonry
chimney ue, and sealed with a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use
this cement to also seal to the brick masonry penetration.
Method C. 6” (152.4 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Starting with a minimum 24 gauge (.024” [.61 mm]) 6” (152.4 mm) metal
chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gauge ventilated wall thimble which
has two air channels of 1” (25.4 mm) each, construct a wall pass-through.
There shall be a minimum 6” (152.4) mm separation area containing
berglass insulation, from the outer surface of the wall thimble to wall
combustibles. Support the wall thimble, and cover its opening with a
24-gauge minimum sheet metal support. Maintain the 6” (152.4 mm) space.
There should also be a support sized to t and hold the metal chimney
connector. See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on
all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure the metal chimney connector
do not penetrate chimney ue liner.
Method D. 2” (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Start
with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney section at least 12” (304 mm)
long, with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, and an inside diameter of 8”
(2 inches [51 mm] larger than the 6” [152.4 mm] chimney connector). Use
this as a pass-through for a minimum 24-gauge single wall steel chimney
connector. Keep solid-pak section concentric with and spaced 1” (25.4
mm) off the chimney connector by way of sheet metal support plates at
both ends of chimney section. Cover opening with and support chimney
section on both sides with 24 gauge minimum sheet metal supports. See
that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make
sure fasteners used to secure chimney ue do not penetrate ue liner.
NOTES:
Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B, shall extend in one continuous section through the wall pass-through
system and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner ue liner face. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof
space, closet or similar concealed space, or a oor, or ceiling.

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE)
Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove outlet. If this is not the case, we recommend you
contact your dealer in order to insure there will be no problem with the draft.
The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or 0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden
to use galvanized steel.
Your stove pipe should be assembled in such a way that the male section (crimped end) of the pipe faces down. Attach each of the
sections to one another with three equidistant metal screws. Seal the joints with furnace cement.
The pipe must be short and straight. All sections installed horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch per foot, with the upper end of
the section toward the chimney. Any installation with a horizontal run of stove pipe must conform to NFPA 211. You may contact
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and request the latest edition of the NFPA Standard 211.
To insure a good draft, the total length of the stove pipe should never exceed 8’ to 10’ (2.4m to 3.04 m). (Except for cases of
vertical installation, cathedral-roof style where the smoke exhaust system can be much longer and connected without problem to
the chimney at the ceiling of the room).
There should never be more than two 90 degrees elbows in the smoke exhaust system.
Installation of a “barometric draft stabilizer” (replace register) on a smoke exhaust system is prohibited.
Furthermore, installation of a draft damper is not recommended. With a controlled combustion wood stoves the draft is regulated
upon intake of the combustion air in the stove and not at the exhaust.
To
Appliance
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on
the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures
in the appliance. Inadequate draft may cause backpufng into the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.

INSTALLATION
POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor the most efcient heat
distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in
the most spacious room possible. Recall that stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a stove. A stove
also functions by convection, that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air. If
necessary, the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by the use of a fan or blower.
Do not place any combustible material within 4’ (1.2m) of the front of
the unit.
The clearance between the ue pipe and a wall are valid only for vertical
walls and for vertical ue pipe.
The chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space,
closet or similar concealed space, a oor, or a ceiling.
For Canadian installations, where passage through a wall, or partition
of combustible construction is desired, the installation must conform to
CAN/CSA-B365.
A ue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have a minimum clearance
of 18” (457.2mm).
To reduce ue clearances from combustible materials, contact your local
safety department.

WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you use DRY WOOD only in your wood oven. The wood should have dried for 9 to 15
months, such that the humidity content (in weight) is reduced below 20% of the weight of the log. It is very important to keep in mind
that even if the wood has been cut for one, two or even more years, it is not necessarily dry, if it has been stored in poor conditions.
Under extreme conditions it may rot, instead of drying. This point cannot be over stressed; the vast majority of the problems related
to the operation of a wood oven is caused by the fact that the wood used was too damp or has dried in poor conditions.
These problems can be:
Ignition problems
Creosote build-up causing chimney res
Low energy yield
Blackened windows
Incomplete log combustion
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6” in diameter should be split. The wood should not be stored directly
on the ground. Air should circulate through the cord. A 24” to 48” air space should be left between each row of logs, which should
be placed in the sunniest location possible. The upper layer of wood should be protected from the elements but not the sides.
1. Garbage;
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4. Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or
asphalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9. Manure or animal remains;
10. Salt water driwood or other previously salt water saturated
materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
e prohibition against burning these materials does not
prohibit the use of re starters made from paper, cardboard,
saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of
starting a re in an aected wood heater.
Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineective and cause smoke.
Dead wood lying on the forest oor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead wood can usually be
considered to be about 2/3 seasoned. Splitting and stacking wood before it is stored accelerates drying time. Storing wood on an elevated
surface from the ground and under a cover or covered area from rain or snow also accelerates drying time. A good indicator if wood
is ready to burn is to check the piece ends. If there are cracks radiating in all directions from the center then the wood should be dry
enough to burn. If your wood sizzles in the re, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured, and should be seasoned longer
Waste and other ammable materials should not be burned in your oven. Any type of wood may be used in your oven, but specic
varieties have better energy yields than others. Please consult the following table in order to make the best possible choice.
WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION
is heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher eciencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried
seasoned hardwoods, as compared to sowoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
DO NOT BURN:
ATTENTION:
This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. It is against federal regulations to operate this
wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
13
WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION
TESTING YOUR WOOD
When the oven is thoroughly warmed, place one piece of split wood (about ve inches in diameter) parallel to the door on the
bed of red embers.
Keep the air control full open by pulling on it and close the door. If ignition of the piece is accomplished within 90 seconds from
the time if was placed in the oven, your wood is correctly dried. If ignition takes longer, your wood is damp.
If your wood hisses and water or vapor escapes at the ends of the piece, your wood is soaked or freshly cut. Do not use this wood
in your oven. Large amounts of creosote could be deposited in your chimney, creating potential conditions for a chimney re.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter
this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
THE FIRST FIRES
The fresh paint on your stove needs to be cured to preserve its quality. Once the fuel charge is properly ignited, only burn small
res in your stove for the rst four hours of operation. Never open the air control more than necessary to achieve a medium burn rate.
Make sure that there’s enough air circulation while curing the stove. The odors could be smelled during the 3 or 4 rst res. Never
start your stove outside. You will not be able to see if you are over heating.
IGNITION
After making sure that the stove air intake controls are fully open (completely pull-out towards you), The top down method of
re building is recommended for this appliance. After making sure that the stove air intake controls are fully open (completely pull-
out towards you), Place the largest pieces of wood on the bottom, laid in parallel and close together. Smaller pieces are placed in a
second layer, crossways to the rst. A third layer of still smaller pieces is laid crossways to the second, this time with some spaces
between. Then a fourth layer of loose, small kindling and twisted newspaper sheets tops off the pile..
Before igniting the paper and kindling wood, it is recommended that you warm up the chimney. This is done in order to avoid
back draft problems often due to negative pressure in the house. If such is the case, open a window slightly near the stove and twist
together a few sheets of newspaper into a torch. Light up this paper torch and hold it as close as possible to the mouth of the pipe
inside the combustion chamber to warm up the chimney. Once the updraft movement is initiated, you are ready to ignite the stove
by lighting the paper and kindling wood inside the combustion chamber.
When you have achieved a good bed of hot embers, we recommend the following burn procedures:
CAUTION: Never alter the damper slide or the adjustment range to increase ring for any reason. Doing so could result
in heater damage and will void your warranty.
CAUTIONS:
¾ ASHES COULD CONTAIN HOT EMBERS EVEN AFTER TWO DAYS WITHOUT OPERATING THE STOVE.
¾ THE ASH PAN CAN BECOME VERY HOT. WEAR GLOVES TO PREVENT INJURY.
¾ NEVER BURN THE STOVE WITH THE STOVE DOOR OR ASH CLEAN OUT OPENING UNSEALED . THIS
WOULD RESULT IN OVER FIRING THE STOVE. DAMAGE TO THE STOVE AND EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY
RESULT.
Primary Air Settings
(Slide Damper is located in center of stove under hearth plate)
(Damper Adjustment: Pulling out on damper decreases air)

(Blower is on High when turned “ON”,
Rotate clockwise until stop for “LOW”.)
Burn Rate Adjust Damper from fully closed Burn Time Blower Speed
Low Closed @ 30 minutes Low
Medium - Low 5/16” @ 30 minutes Low
Medium - High 9/16” @ 30 minutes Low
High Fully Open all minutes High
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be an effective method of determining how efciently the combustion process
is taking place at the given settings. Visible smoke consist of unburned fuel and moisture leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the air
settings of your specic unit to produce the smallest amount of visible smoke. Wood that has not been seasoned properly and has a
high wood moisture content will produce excess visible smoke and burn poorly.
14
WARNINGS
¾ NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY PART OF THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED, OVER FIRING IS
HAPPENING. READJUST THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL AT A LOWER SETTING.
¾ THE INSTALLATION OF A LOG CRADLE OR GRATES IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN YOUR WOOD STOVE.
BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON FIREBRICK.
¾ NEVER PUT WOOD ABOVE THE FIREBRICK LINING OF THE FIREBOX.
¾ ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN
RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATER.
RELOADING
Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air controls to maximum
a few seconds prior to opening the stove’s door. Then proceed by opening the door very slowly; open it one or two inches for 5
to 10 seconds, before opening it completely to increase the draft and thus eliminate the smoke which is stagnant in a state of slow
combustion in the stove. Then bring the red embers to the front of the stove and reload the unit.
For optimal operation of your wood stove, we recommend you to operate it with a wood load approximately equivalent to the
height of re bricks.
It is important to note that wood combustion consumes ambient oxygen in the room. In the case of negative pressure, it is a good
idea to allow fresh air in the room, either by opening a window slightly or by installing a fresh air intake system on an outside wall.
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal 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 ue of a slow-burning re.
As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot re. The chimney
connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote
build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (3mm or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re. We
strongly recommend that you install a magnetic thermometer on your smoke exhaust pipe, approximately 18” above the stove. This
OPERATION
Controlled combustion is the most efcient technique for wood heating because it enables you to select the type of combustion
you want for each given situation. The wood will burn slowly if the wood stove air intake control is adjusted to reduce the oxygen
supply in the combustion chamber to a minimum. On the other hand, wood will burn quickly if the air control is adjusted to admit
a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber. Refer to the primary air settings table for damper operation setting. Real
operating conditions may give very different results than those obtained during testing according to the species of wood used, its
moisture content, the size and density of the pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.
EFFICIENCIES
Efciencies can be based on either the lower heating value (LHV) or the higher heating value (HHV) of the fuel. The lower heating
value is when water leaves the combustion process as a vapor, in the case of woodstoves the moisture in the wood being burned
leaves the stove as a vapor. The higher heating value is when water leaves the combustion process completely condensed. In the
case of woodstoves this would assume the exhaust gases are room temperature when leaving the system, and therefore calculations
using this heating value consider the heat going up the chimney as lost energy. Therefore, efciency calculated using the lower
heating value of wood will be higher than efciency calculated using the higher heating value. In the United States all woodstove
efciencies should be calculated using the higher heating value.
The best way to achieve optimum efciencies is to learn the burn characteristic of you appliance and burn well-seasoned wood.
Higher burn rates are not always the best heating burn rates; after a good re is established a lower burn rate may be a better option for
efcient heating. A lower burn rate slows the ow of usable heat out of the home through the chimney, and it also consumes less wood.
OPERATIONAL TIPS
Operational Tips for Good, Efcient, and Clean Combustion
Get the appliance hot and establish a good coal bed before adjusting to a low burn rate (this may take 30 minutes or more
depending on your wood)
Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and a high burn rate to increase the stove temperature
Be considerate of the environment and only burn dry wood
Burn small, intense res instead of large, slow burning res when possible
Learn your appliance’s operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance
Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves efciency and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in your chimney.
WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION
15
Your wood stove is a high efciency stove and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform a visual inspection
of the stove every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no parts have been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed
immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe periodically for creosote buildup or obstructions.
GLASS
Inspect and clean the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks. If you spot one, turn the stove off immediately. Do not
abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if the glass is broken.
If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with the glass supplied from your heater dealer. Never substitute other materials
for the glass.
To replace the glass, remove the screws retaining the glass mouldings inside the door. Remove the mouldings and replace
the damaged piece with a new one. Perform the procedure backwards after replacing. When replacing the glass, you should
change the glass gasket to make sure you keep it sealed.
Never wash the glass with a product that may scratch. Use a specialized product, available in the stores where wood stoves
are sold. The glass should be washed only when cold.
GASKETING
It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which makes your stove door air tight) once a year, in order to insure good
control over the combustion, maximum efciency and security. To change the door gasket, simply remove the damaged one. Carefully
clean the available gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose and install the new gasket. You may light
up your stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation. This unit’s door uses a 1/2” diameter rope gasket.
BLOWER (IF EQUIPPED)
The blower needs to be removed and air blown clean. Make sure the blades do not have build up.
MAINTENANCE
thermometer will indicate the temperature of your gas exhaust fumes within the smoke exhaust system. The ideal temperature for
these gases is somewhere between 275°F and 500°F. Below these temperatures, the build-up of creosote is promoted. Above 500
degrees, heat is wasted since a too large quantity is lost into the atmosphere.
¾ To Prevent Creosote Build Up: Always Burn Dry Wood. This Allows Clean Burns And Higher Chimney Temperatures,
Therefore Less Creosote Deposit.
Leave the air control full open for about 5 min. every time you reload the stove to bring it back to proper operating temperatures.
The secondary combustion can only take place if the rebox is hot enough.
Always check for creosote deposit once every two months and have your chimney cleaned at least once a year.
If a chimney or creosote re occurs, close all dampers immediately. Wait for the re to go out and the heater to cool, then inspect
the chimney for damage. If no damage results, perform a chimney cleaning to ensure there is no more creosote deposits remaining
in the chimney.
ASH DISPOSAL
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your rebox or ash pan, and when the re has burned down and cooled, remove excess
ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the rebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
oor or on the ground, away from all combustible materials, pending nal disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when exposed to elevated
concentrations for extended periods of time. While the modern combustion systems in heaters drastically reduce the amount of CO
emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or conned areas can be dangerous. Make sure your stove gaskets and
chimney joints are in good working order and sealing properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both
smoke and CO monitors in areas having the potential to generate CO.
WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION
WARNING:
NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITHOUT A GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN ONE. DAMAGE TO THE STOVE OR
EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
16
SECONDARY AIR TUBES
The secondary air tubes must be cleaned with a wire brush. If debris remains in holes lightly tap with a wooden stick to remove.
FIREBRICK
The rebrick should be cleaned and inspected as necessary. Replace any damaged or broken brick.
AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide an accurate mix of secondary air to insure the highest efciency. Any
damage or deterioration of these tubes may reduce the efciency of combustion. The air tubes are held in position by either screws
or snap pins. Locate these to either side of the tube and remove to allow the tube to be removed and replaced.
PAINT
Remember to only clean your stove with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the stoves nish.
Your stove has two types of coatings that are used in the nal nish; porcelain enamel and high temperature stove paint.
ENAMEL REPAIR-
The porcelain enamel nish will maintain its color and luster for the life of the stove. However, because it is glass it may chip if
hit with a hard or sharp object. If you experience a scratch or chip in the porcelain enamel nish, specially formulated gloss touch
up paint can be used. Contact you stove dealer to request a small bottle of this touch up paint.
1) Ensure the stove is cool.
Note: The paint may be applied to a warm stove, but the temperature of the section to be painted should be below the boiling
temperature
(200°F) to achieve a smooth nish.
2) The area should be built up with multiple thin coats.
Note: Better results are obtained if the stove is brought up to operational temperatures between coats.
HIGH TEMPERATURE STOVE PAINT REPAIR-
If the painted portions of your stove need re coating it is possible to give those pieces a brand new look by repainting it with a
1200°F heat resistant stove paint.
1) Scrub the surface to be repainted with ne sand paper.
2) Clean it properly.
3) Apply thin coats (2-3) of paint successively.
During the curing process there are changes in the paint causing it to give off an odor and some visible smoke. The fumes
are non-toxic, but can be unpleasant. Ventilate and vacate the room to avoid discomfort. Once the curing is complete there
will be no odor or smoke. After re-coating portions of your stove remember to follow the curing process as discussed in
the rst re section of this manual.
STOVE MORTAR REPAIR
Sometimes after the cement on the outside of the stove dries and hardens, it will develop some cracks. Thermal expansion, growth
and shrinkage of the cast-iron do to changing temperatures, may contribute to cracks or chips in the mortar. If you desire to make
repairs on your stove mortar contact your stove dealer to request replace mortar to perform the repair.
REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS -
1) Remove any loose pieces of mortar.
2) Using masking tape or blue tape, line both sides of each seam.
3) Cut the tip of the mortar tube for a 1/8” to 3/16” bead.
4) Fill any large voids.
5) Run a continuous bead of grout the entire length of the seam.
6) Smooth the bead to the size of llet desired. Smaller is better.
7) Stop and remove any excess before it spreads beyond the tape.
Note: You may have to do this several times before you can run the full length of the seam.
8) Carefully remove the tape.
9) Using a damp (not soaked) small cell sponge or cotton cloth, run the length of the seam to atten the edge of the mortar and
remove any cement that spread beyond the llet.
10) Rinse the sponge or cloth often.
Note: You must get everything off of the enamel before it dries.
The mortar contains sodium silicate that will etch the porcelain nish if not removed promptly.
It is better to remove too much rather than to make the llet too large.
11) Allow the mortar to dry overnight before ring up the stove.
