3. Setup and Installation
The TermaTech 09-524 Stove Cutlery is designed for easy integration with compatible TermaTech stove models. No complex assembly is required for the tools themselves.
3.1 Compatibility Check
Ensure your TermaTech stove's wooden compartment door has the necessary integrated holders for this cutlery set. This set is designed for models in the TT20, TT21, TT23, TT30, and TT80 series that feature this specific storage provision.
3.2 Installation Steps
- Locate Holders: Open the wooden compartment door of your compatible TermaTech stove. Identify the designated slots or hooks designed to hold the fireplace tools.
- Insert Tools: Carefully insert the handle of each tool (shovel, broom, fire hook) into its respective holder. The design ensures a snug and secure fit, preventing the tools from rattling or falling when the door is opened or closed.
- Verify Placement: Gently close and open the compartment door to ensure the tools are securely seated and do not obstruct the door's operation.

4. Operating Instructions
The TermaTech 09-524 Stove Cutlery is designed for standard fireplace maintenance tasks. Always use these tools with caution and in accordance with your stove's operating manual.
4.1 General Use
- Shovel: Use the shovel to remove cooled ash from the firebox or ash pan. Avoid scooping hot embers directly, as this can damage the shovel or create a fire hazard outside the stove.
- Broom: The broom is ideal for sweeping fine ash and debris from the firebox floor or around the stove's opening. Ensure the fire is completely out and the surfaces are cool before sweeping.
- Fire Hook: Use the fire hook to safely adjust burning logs, move embers, or break apart larger pieces of charcoal within the firebox. Always maintain a safe distance from the flames.
4.2 Safety Precautions
- Always wear appropriate protective gloves when handling fireplace tools, especially when the stove is hot.
- Ensure the tools are clean and free of debris before storing them in the compartment.
- Never leave tools in direct contact with extreme heat for prolonged periods.
- Keep children and pets away from the stove and fireplace tools during operation and cleaning.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your TermaTech Stove Cutlery and ensure its continued functionality.
- Cleaning: After each use, allow the tools to cool completely. Wipe them down with a dry cloth to remove any ash or soot. For stubborn residue, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by thorough drying to prevent rust.
- Storage: Always store the tools in their designated holders within the stove's wooden compartment door when not in use. This protects them from damage and keeps them readily accessible.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the tools for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. Replace any damaged tools to ensure safe operation.
