This controls the amount of heat the stove produces, as well as the burn time. The more you open the draft by pulling out the handle, the more combustion air enters the firebox; this will cause the stove to burn hotter and faster. You will have to experiment with your unit for the most efficient setting, as no two chimneys are the same. If you have problems regulating the unit please call your dealer or the factory. C. Do Not Over-Fire Your Stove Burning flammable liquids, too much wood and trash in the stove can result in over- firing. If the chimney pipe turns red or even worse, white, the unit has been over-fired. This may ignite creosote in the chimney and possibly cause a house fire. If this does happen, immediately close the slide damper by pushing it in completely and close the by-pass damper. Get out of the house and call the fire department. A chimney fire may cause structural damage to the chimney system, therefore do not use the stove until the entire flue system is inspected and, if necessary, repaired or replaced. A chimney sweep can perform this inspection. D. Everyday Fueling This unit is designed to burn eight to ten (8 to 10) hours on one load of firewood. Always open or pull out the by-pass damper before opening the stove door. The door should be cracked for five to ten (5 to 10) minutes to allow the excess smoke to clear through your flue system. Once you have opened the door properly, you should have a bed of hot coals in the bottom of the firebox. With the use of a poker, pull the bed of hot ashes towards the front door of the unit, then fill the stove with seasoned wood and burn the unit for approximately thirty (30) minutes with the door cracked. The next step is to close the door and the by-pass damper and set the front slide damper to your desired burn. Follow this procedure each time you fuel your stove. E. Ash Removal and Disposal Regularly inspect the ash build-up in your stove and remove as necessary. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with an airtight lid. Pending disposal, they should be placed on a non-combustible surface completely away from any combustible material. The ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Note: It is essential that your flue system be checked for creosote build-up at least twice per month. SECTION VI: CARE AND MAINTENANCE A. Catalytic Combustor Maintenance Note – Your unit will have a 3” thick, 25-cell combustor (manufactured by Applied Ceramics), or it will have a 1” thick, “ceramic foam” type combustor (manufactured by Clear Skies). The following instructions apply to both types, unless otherwise specified. 1. To reach the combustor, first take out the Flame Impingement Plate by removing the four (4) 3/8” brass nuts (they take a 9/16” wrench). Once the nuts are removed the plate should drop from the four bolts. This will allow you to see the bottom of your catalytic combustor. 2. For 25-cell Applied Ceramics combustor: If the combustor is plugged up you will see black soot within the cells on the bottom side of the ceramic piece. This can usually be removed by brushing the combustor with a soft bristled brush. You can also run a pipe stem cleaner through each cell for removal of any internal build-up. This type of cleaning can be done without removing the combustor from the stove. For 1” thick Clear Skies combustor: Follow the instructions provided by Clear Skies pertaining to the cleaning of their combustor. 3. Combustor Housing (Part #CA-1710) – This cast iron housing holds the combustor in place and if it becomes cracked or broken it should be replaced (See Catalytic Combustor Replacement”). 4. Flame Impingement Plate (Part #IP-24AC) - These units are equipped with a flame impingement plate designed to keep the flames from directly hitting the combustor, which also aids in heating up gases before they reach the combustor. If this plate becomes distorted, it should be replaced (See Step 1, above). 5. The catalytic combustor (Part #AC-6C3) is guaranteed by Applied Ceramics or Clear Skies, the manufacturers. A separate warranty card will be in the manual for this part and should be mailed back to the combustor manufacturer. Both combustors are equivalent, and in the event there is a problem with this item, the manufacturer should be contacted as listed: Applied Ceramics Clear Skies Unlimited, Inc. Customer Service Dept. 11208 Cochiti SE P.O. Box 29664 Albuquerque, NM 87123 Atlanta, GA 30359 (1-505-237-9519) (1-770-448-6888) B. Gaskets This unit comes with a gasket around the door, which should be replaced every two years. To replace the door gasket (Part #AC-DGKC) the old gasket must first be completely removed. This may require you to scrape the channel free of old gasket and adhesive prior to adding the cement and new five-eighth inch (5/8”) rope gasket. After attaching the new gasket the door should be closed and latched for twenty-four (24) hours to allow the cement to harden. If you are ...
