GLASS-CERAMIC CLEANING
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT STOVE GLASS
. Applying cleaner to hot glass may cause burns, emit hot
noxious fumes, and will increase the chances the glass will stain. Creosote and soot that attaches to the glass, caused by
burning wood fuel, may be removed with Speedy White Hearth and Stove Cleaner or Cook Top Cleaning Crème available
at appliance centers or call 1-800-872-8855 to obtain the proper cleaning material.
BE CAREFUL
, the cleaning solution
can stain surrounding material, especially after the creosote has dissolved and runs or drips off the glass. Hint: put down a
generous amount of newspaper in the surrounding area. After using any cleaner always remove all residue by washing the
glass with water or conventional window cleaner spray. Any remaining residue will stain the glass when it is heated. The
glass door on a Country Flame stove provides the enjoyment and beauty of viewing the fire while retaining the efficiency
of your stove. Although the brand of glass used in the Country Flame door has well established and recognized heat
resistant and strength characteristics, it can be broken through improper use. To achieve the maximum utility and safety
of your glass door, Country Flame advises the homeowner to observe the following use and safety tips:
1 Inspect the glass regularly for cracks or breaks. If you detect a crack or break, extinguish the fire immediately.
Contact Country Flame or an authorized local Country Flame Dealer for glass replacement.
CAUTION: DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN GLASS CLIPS OR GLASS BREAKAGE WILL OCCUR.
2. Do not slam the stove door or otherwise impact the glass. When closing the door, make sure that no logs or
other objects protrude to impact against the glass.
3.
Glass will require cleaning but several techniques are advised to reduce creosote buildup.
a.
Pull your fire forward to intensify the heat near the glass.
b.
Each Country Flame stove is equipped with a glass air wash system. Opening the combustion air
slides slightly ensures enough air is entering the glass air wash system to be more effective.
c.
Very long, slow fires starve the glass air wash system and hasten creosote buildup.
d.
Trim the gasket around the glass if it has curled and is interfering with the flow of air over the
inside of the glass.
4. Do not clean the glass with materials, which may scratch it (such as steel wool) or otherwise damage the
glass.
5 The
Glass-Ceramic, KERA LITE®
used in Country Flame stoves is built to exacting standards and is
expensive. Replacement costs are high so be careful, properly clean and care for this ceramic glass thus enjoying years of
beautiful fire viewing.
DECORATIVE DOORS
Optional doors are available from Country Flame for all catalytic stoves. The purchase of optionally decorated or plated
doors in no way impacts the overall operation or efficiency of a stove. Optional doors are strictly decorative and provided
to allow customers to meet a variety of home décor options. Today’s plating technology is almost completely done
outside the United States. This makes plated doors an expensive option. Damage of any kind to plated doors results in
costly repairs that no one wants to pay for.
It is strongly recommended by Country Flame that homeowners follow the care and maintenance procedures for plated
doors provided in this manual. Any damage that has been caused by misuse or improper cleaning techniques will not be
the responsibility of Country Flame.
Gold or plated door should be wiped down regularly to ensure the luster and beauty of the door system lasts the life of the
stove. Always use an approved glass cleaner (i.e. Windex, Glass Plus) and a lint free soft cloth to polish the doorframe.
DO NOT use any abrasives, like steel wool, brass polish, cleaners, like comet, or other household cleaners. If these
products are used on the plating, the door will be permanently scratched and the finish ruined. If damage does occur to
the doors from improper cleaning, the solution will be expensive to return the doors to their original luster. The doors
would have to be returned to Country Flame for refinishing. Country Flame can accomplish the repair of any door but it
is expensive. Use proper care in cleaning plated and other plated surfaces and a lifetime of enjoyment will be yours. Cast
doors require little or no care as long as abrasives are not used.
