MAINTENANCE cont.
CHIMNEY DRAFTS
If you suspect a dra problem in an existing chimney, determine the dra by using a water manometer (or
digital dra gauge).  e dra should be measured with the stove at medium burn. A er the measurement is
completed,  ll any holes that were made in the chimney connector by using a sheet metal screw of proper size.
Recommended dra is .02 -.03 in. w.c. at medium  re. Too little dra results in a sluggish  re and smoke spillage
when the stove door is opened. Too much dra (over 0.06 in. w.c.) makes it unsafe to operate the stove and will
void manufacturers warranty. Use a key damper if necessary to avoid excessive dra .
THERMOSTAT
 e thermostat is adjusted at the factory and should not be tampered with. If the thermostat breaks, the damper
will automatically close and replacement (by a quali ed technician) of the complete thermostat is required.
OPTIONAL FAN ASSEMBLY
Routine maintenance of the OPTIONAL Fan Assembly on the back of the stove is not required. However,
should it become necessary to replace an individual fan or rheostat, contact your local dealer.
PAINT
If the  nish on the stove ever becomes blemished, you can repaint with high temperature paint available from
your dealer. DO NOT paint the stove while it is HOT.
THERMOMETER
 e combustor thermometer tells you what was happening 4-8 minutes ago. And remember, it is only an
indication of the temperatures of the gasses, a er they pass through the combustor.  e thermometer probe,
the part that  ts into the stove, must be cleaned at least once a year. Li it from the stove (be careful, it may be
hot) and wipe or scrape it clean. At room temperature, away from the stove, the indicator should point near the
bottom of the “Inactive” zone. If, a er several years use, you  nd that the needle no longer points to the bottom
of the “Inactive” zone when the thermometer has been at room temperature for 10 minutes or longer, it may
need adjustment. Holding the probe with a pair of pliers, loosen the bolt on the top of the dial. Turn the dial to
align the pointer with the bottom of the “Inactive” zone, then retighten the bolt.
NOTE: IF YOUR BLAZE KING IS EQUIPPED WITH OPTIONAL FANS, TURN OFF FANS AND
WAIT 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO READING CATALYTIC THERMOMETER INDICATOR. AIR
MOVEMENT ACROSS THE TOP OF THE STOVE MAY PROVIDE FALSE READING.
