house or tree falls on top of the chimney like water
over a dam, beating down the smoke. The top of
the chimney should be at least three (3) feet above

GLASS CARE
The following usage and safety tips should be ob-
served:
1. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and breaks.
If you detect a crack or break, extinguish the fire
immediately and contact the manufacturer for a
replacement.
2. Do not slam the door or otherwise impact the glass.
When closing doors, make sure that logs or other
objects do not protrude to impact the glass.
3. Do not build fires against (or that might fall against)
the glass.
4. Do not clean the glass with materials that may
scratch (or otherwise damage) the glass. Scratches
on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks dur-
ing operation.
5. Never attempt to clean the glass while the unit is
hot. If deposits are not very heavy, normal glass
cleaners are adequate using a soft, non-abrasive
cleaning pad. Heavier deposits may be removed
with oven cleaners.
6. Never put substances which can ignite explosively
in the unit. Even small explosions in confined areas
can blow out the glass.
Gasket and Glass cleaning products are available at
local retail home centers. Manufacturers of cleaning
products for wood stoves include, A.W. Perkins Co.
(www.awperkins.com) or Rutland Products (www.
rutland.com).
