Maintenance
As Needed
External Cleaning
WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN THE UNIT WHEN HOT OR WHEN ANY SIGN OF COMBUSTION IS PRESENT.
External Cleaning - The unit should receive regular cleaning on, under, and around the stove to prevent the
buildup of dust and lint. Clean the exterior surfaces of the unit using soap, water, and a soft cloth.
Do not
use
abrasive or chemical cleaners. Take care not to scratch the glass or enamel finish (if so equipped) when
cleaning the unit. We do not recommend the use of chemical wax based cleaners or polishes due to the
potential for discoloration of the stones, castings or enamel when the residues of the cleaners or polishes are
subject to heat. Excessive buildup of dust, spider webs, or room air contamination may cause odors when the
stove is hot.
Stone Cleaning
Occasional cleaning is all that is necessary to maintain the natural beauty of your stove’s soapstone/sandstone.
Clean the soapstone only with water or any non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. To remove stains and
smudges from sandstone, buff with 200 or 220 grit sandpaper. Wipe dust from the stone with a clean cloth. Do
not use chemical agents to wash the stone; do not use waxes or any polishing agents on the stone. Soapstone
and sandstone are porous and will absorb most liquids, which can leave a stain, change the appearance, or
result in odd odors when warm. If you accidentally break a stone, contact your dealer for a replacement.
Grill Height Adjustment
The convection air grill height is adjustable if necessary. The grill rests on three screws – tightening, or
loosening the screws changes the grill’s height and fit.
