5700 Step Top Wood Stove Series ACC
I. Quick Reference Maintenance Guide
Baffl e and blanket placement is critical to heat out-
put, effi ciency and overall life of the unit. Make sure
the baffl e is pushed all of the way to the back of the
fi rebox and the blanket is laying fl at.
Firebrick is designed to protect your fi rebox. Replace
fi rebricks that are crumbling, cracked or broken. If
you have an optional ash door, check to make sure
the door is closing properly.
The chimney and chimney
cap must be inspected for
soot and creosote during
the burn season. This will
prevent pipe blockage, poor
draft, and chimney fi res.
Always burn dry wood to
help prevent cap blockage
and creosote build-up.
Keeping the door and glass
gasket in good shape will
maintain good burn times on
a low burn setting.
Check the glass frame for
loose screws to prevent air
leakage.
Check the door latch for proper adjustment. This
is very important especially after the door rope has
formed to the stove face.
Start the fi rst inspection of your unit af-
ter the fi rst 2 months of use, or if perfor-
mance changes, and adjust your sched-
ule accordingly.
