SERVICING GLASS
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO ABUSE DOOR
ASSEMBLY BY STRIKING OR SLAMMING IT. IF
THE DOOR ASSEMBLY OR GLASS IS BROKEN OR
DAMAGED, THEY MUST BE REPLACED WITH FAC-
TORY ORIGINAL PARTS BEFORE HEATER CAN BE
SAFELY OPERATED. USE ONLY COMPONENTS
PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS RE-
PLACEMENT PARTS.
Cleaning Glass: Ensure stove is cold prior to cleaning
glass. A commercial glass cleaner designed for stoves
is recommended. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not
clean with any materials, which may scratch or other-
wise damage the glass. Scratches on the glass can
develop into cracks or break. Inspect the glass regu-
larly. If you detect a crack, extinguish the fire and con-
tact your dealer for a replacement.
Replacing Glass:
1. Open the door. Using a phillips screwdriver loosen
the 4 screws which secure the glass then carefully
remove broken glass one piece at a time (protective
leather gloves are recommended).
2. Remove screws and clips from doorframe and set
aside.
3. Clean the area where the glass with gasket will be
installed.
4. Install new glass with gasket (use only factory 4-
mm glass with glass channel gasket. Do not substi-
tute).
5. Carefully reinstall glass clips with gasket and
screws. Be very careful not to overtighten the
screws (this could result in breakage when stove is
hot).
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
What is Creosote - 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 accumu-
lates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire. Also, creosote deposits
tend to form in long runs of venting where gases be-
come too cool prior to exhausting. Note: Single wall
pipe cools rapidly, therefore installations using this type
of flue are more susceptible to creosote deposits.
To inhibit the build up of creosote, adjust the primary air
draft control to a medium-high or high setting for a 10-
minute period each day. Do not attempt to burn out
heavy creosote accumulations in this manner. This
must be removed from the chimney by scraping or
brushing to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Burn Approved Fuel Only - This stove is approved for
burning dry seasoned natural wood only. Using green
or inadequately seasoned wood may increase creosote
buildup.
Inspection Frequency - The chimney connector and
chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly dur-
ing the heating season to determine if a creosote
buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it
should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
If creosote has accumulated (1/8 “(3 mm) or more) it
should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Experienced chimney servicing personnel should be
consulted.
Cleaning - Remove the baffle brick in the firebox prior
to having your chimney cleaned (should be done by a
qualified chimney sweep). See following – Removing
Baffle Brick for Cleaning).
Removing Baffle for Cleaning
Before flue can be cleaned, the baffle in the stove fire-
box must be removed. The CI1000HT has one vermicu-
lite firebrick, which serves as a baffle for the flue gas-
ses. The CI2000HT has a 5-sided box made of ceramic
fiber brick that serves as a baffle. In both cases, the
baffles are located just above the secondary air tubes
(which must be removed to access the baffle). Sugges-
tion: Wear a pair of leather work gloves when removing
secondary air tube assembly and baffle.
1. To access the baffle, the secondary air tube as-
sembly must be removed. Locate the 4 screws,
which secure the assembly into place (located at
the ceiling of the firebox). Remove the assembly
and set aside. Slide the baffle out and set aside.
2. Once the baffle is removed from the firebox, the flue
can be cleaned. The accumulated soot that is re-
moved by brushing will fall to the firebox floor where
it can be removed and disposed of.
WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITH-
OUT THE BAFFLE BRICK PROPERLY INSTALLED.
THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND THE STOVE
WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
