NORMAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Due to differences in fuel, stove cleaning intervals will vary.
The cleaner the stove is, the more efficiently it will burn.
CLEANING THE FIREPOT
Remove and clean the burn pot/firepot daily. Make sure all
holes in the burn pot are unobstructed. Use a small metal pick
or drill bit to keep these holes clean.
SEE FIGURE 46
FIREPOT REMAINS
Every time the hopper is filled with fuel, the firepot should be
emptied. To empty the
firepot, lift it out of the pot holder
and dump it directly into the ash pan. Be sure any build-up is
removed and that the holes are clean.
CLEANING THE GLASS
Only clean the glass when the glass is cool. Wipe glass off
frequently. Wipe the glass clean with a dry or damp rag. If
this does not clean the glass, use any non-abrasive cleaner.
Using ceramic stove top cleaner can be helpful in removing soot
from the glass. Inspect gaskets around the door periodically.
Replace any worn, frayed or compacted gaskets. Replace
broken glass only with high temperature ceramic glass.

INTERIOR CHAMBER
Clean the interior chamber with an ash vacuum. Ash vacuums
are specially designed to contain soot and have a metal exterior.
ASH PAN
Dump the ash pan regularly. Ashes should be contained in a
metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a non combustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials. If ashes are
disposed of by burial or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have
been cooled
