it may need tightening to compensate for compression of
the new gasket. See Figure 6.3 for directions on adjusting
the latches.
3.Determine the correct length of the appropriate-sized

All Gasketed Construction Gaskets
Othergasketsformsealsbetweenallothernon-movingparts,
but these are not subject to the same wear and deterioration
asgasketsonmovingparts.Itisunlikelythatyouwillever
need to replace these gaskets unless the involved parts are
disassembledandthenputbacktogether.Ifthisisthecase,
thejobshouldbedoneonlybyaqualiedservicetechnician.

The left and right air plates (inner sides)

F. The Chimney System
Creosote
Your appliance is designed to reduce creosote build-up
signicantly. However, regular chimney inspection and
maintenancemuststillbeperformed.Forsafety,goodstove
performance, and to protect your chimney and chimney
connector,inspectyourchimneyandchimneyconnectoron
aregularschedule.Cleanthesystemifnecessary.Failure
to keep the chimney and connector system clean can result
inaseriouschimneyre.
Whenwoodisburnedslowly,itproducestar,organicvapors
and moisture that combine 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withintheuesystemthatcandamagethechimney
andoverheatadjacentcombustiblematerial.Ifasignicant
layerofcreosotehasaccumulated—1/8"(3mm)ormore
—itshouldberemovedtoreducetheriskofachimneyre.
Youcanneverbetoosafe.Contactyourlocalreauthority
forinformationonwhattodointheeventofachimneyre,
and have a clearly understood plan on how to handle one.
Ifyoudoexperienceachimneyre,actpromptlyto:
• Closethecatalystbypassdamperandaircontrollever.
Get everyone out of the house.
• CalltheFireDepartment.
Inspect the system every two weeks during the heating
season as part of a regular maintenance schedule. To inspect
the chimney, let the stove cool completely. Then, using a
mirrorandastronglight,sightupthroughtheuecollarinto
thechimneyue.Ifyoucannotinspecttheuesysteminthis
fashion,thestovemustbedisconnectedtoprovidebetter
viewing access.
