MAINTENANCE
Your OSBURN insert is a high efficiency insert and therefore require little maintenance. It
is important to perform a visual inspection of the insert every time it is emptied, in order to
insure that no parts have been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed
immediately.
GLASS
•
Inspect the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks. If you spot one, turn the insert
off immediately. Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use
the insert if the glass is broken.
•
If the glass on your insert breaks, replace only with glazing supplied from the OSBURN
dealer.
•
To replace the glass, remove the screws retaining the gasket frame inside the door and
lift. Replace the damaged piece with a new one. Perform the procedure backwards
after replacing. When replacing the glass, you should change the glass gasket to
make sure you keep it sealed.
•
Never wash the glass with a product that may scratch. Use a specialized product,
available in the stores where wood inserts are sold.
•
The glass should be washed only when cold.
GASKETING
It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which makes your insert door air
tight) once a year, in order to insure good control over the combustion, maximum
efficiency and security. To change the door gasket, simply remove the damaged one.
Carefully clean the available gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this
purpose, and install the new gasket. You may light up your insert again approximately 24
hours after having completed this operation.
WARNING:
•
N EVER OPERATE THE INSERT WITHOUT A GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN ONE . D AMAGE TO THE
INSERT OR EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT
PAINT
Only clean your insert with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint finish. If the paint
becomes scratched or damaged, it is possible to give your wood insert a brand new look,
by repainting it with a 1200
o
F heat resistant paint. For this purpose, simply scrub the
surface to be repainted with fine sand paper, clean it properly, and apply thin coats (2) of
paint successively.
