NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE
Motor Lubrication
The blowers are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. Do not
apply oil to any part of the blower, doing so may cause damage.
Blower Cleaning
Clean the air holes on the motors of both the exhaust and room air blowers
annually. Remove the exhaust blower from the exhaust duct and clean
out the internal fan blades as part of your fall start-up.
Rear Stove Compartment
The rear stove compartment should be cleaned periodically (a minimum
of once a year). DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL CORD PRIOR TO CLEANING
STOVE. Any household dust, pet hair or sawdust should be vacuumed
or wiped out of the rear compartment of the stove, room air blower, and
combustion blower (paying special attention to vacuuming out the intakes
of both blowers). The electrical components should be wiped clean.
Cleaning Glass
DO NOT CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN THE STOVE IS HOT.
CAUTION: Do not open the front door when the stove is hot.
Clean the glass using a soft cloth or paper towel and a house-
hold glass cleaner or gas stove window cleaner. A commercial
glass cleaner designed for stoves is recommended. Do not use
abrasive cleaners. A damp cloth with a small amount of ash
from the firebox can also be used to clean the glass.
Servicing Glass
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO ABUSE THE DOOR ASSEMBLY
BY STRIKING OR SLAMMING IT. IF THE DOOR ASSEMBLY OR
GLASS IS BROKEN OR DAMAGED, THEY MUST BE REPLACED
BEFORE HEATER CAN BE SAFELY OPERATED. USE ONLY COM-
PONENTS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS REPLACE-
MENT PARTS.
Small Area Paint Touch-up
The stove body is painted with a quality high-temperature stove paint.
Use only model TSPK-B Stove Paint, Catalog # 70K99. Do not touch-up
your stove with any other paint.
Using one small piece of 320 grit sand paper and lightly sand the blem-
ish so that the edges are “feathered” or smooth to the touch between
the painted and bare surfaces. Do not let the sand paper gum up with
paint, as this will cause scratches on the metal surface. If there are any
scratches, use 600 grit sandpaper instead. Mask off surfaces you do
not want painted. Paint lightly over the bare surface first as this will act
as an undercoat. Then paint over a larger area in smooth even strokes
to blend.
Door Rope Gasket
The condition of the rope gasket around the door and windows should be
checked periodically and replaced or repaired if necessary. The door gasket
does not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is
not hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your stove.

upper portion of the side panel (at front of stove) and pull each panel
outward (see Figure 34). The side panels will hinge open from the back.
