MAINTENANCE
While your Quadra-Fire stove has been designed to provide you with many hours of trouble free operation, there are several
components which require routine checking to maintain your stove in top working condition. These actions are essential to maximize
the overall efficiency (heat output) while minimizing the emissions (smoke) from your stove.
