it. When this happens, the ﬁrebrick goes into

shock and will start to spall and/or crack.

Exterior brick and stone joints may develop

minor hairline cracks, which will open and close

as the heater cycles. Larger cracks only occur

when the heater is over ﬁred. If your heater

develops serious cracks, stop using the heater

and call us or a local heater mason immediately

for an assessment visit and repair.

EMPERATURES

Under normal operating conditions, all the

masonry surfaces should be cool enough to

touch. Only the metal will be too hot to touch

during the burn. After the burn, the doors as

well will cool down.

Avoid putting combustible materials or candles

on any shelves or mantels on the heater. The

heater cap and mantle can hold non-combustible

objects, vases, etc. Use your good judgment.

LASS CARE

Many customers wipe the ceramic glass before

each burn with a paper towel and a tiny bit of

ﬁne ash from the ash box. If you choose to use a

liquid glass or oven cleaner on the ceramic glass,

only do this when the glass and doors are cool.

MOKE REMOVAL

If you get smoke on the brick or stone face from

an improperly closed damper, wait until the

heater is cool and clean the carbon stains off

with oven cleaner (or simpler means) following

instructions on the can or bottle.

UTSIDE

It is customary in a new tight house to supply

outside air (a 4"-6" metal duct) to the vicinity

of the heater. A hole can be drilled through the

foundation wall, and a rust proof/ﬁreproof duct

installed with a screen on the outside end and a

closeable register on the living room or kitchen

end. The duct can be on either face or side of

the heater. Do not place it away from the heater

where it might create a felt draft across the feet of

someone trying to enjoy the ﬁre or heater.

DAMPER MAINTENANCE

The sliding damper and frame is fabricated from

steel. If left in the closed position all summer, it

can accumulate moisture and rust, and stick a bit

when you start up your heater again in the fall.

Many people remove their damper at the end

of the heating season and clean it with ﬁne steel

wool or a brass brush and spray it with WD-40

and also spray inside both left and right channels

of the frame with a red needle attachment on the

can. Lubricating and rust prooﬁng the damper

for the summer is a good way to have it in good

shape and ready to go for the fall.

NNUAL MAINTENANCE

Most people check all their soot doors once or

twice during the heating season and clean out

any ﬂy ash or ﬁne soot with a shop vacuum. The

basement ash chamber can typically hold a full

season's accumulation of ash and can be cleaned
