attempt to clean the glass while the fire is burning or
the glass is hot. Most deposits can be cleaned by
following the instructions provided with the cleaner.
To clean heavier deposits, open the door and lift it
straight up and off the stove with the hinge pins
remaining in the door (take care to save hinge pins
and any washers for reuse). Lay the door face down
on a workbench or table. Apply the cleaner to the
glass and allow it to sit for a few minutes. By laying
the door flat, it will allow the cleaner to penetrate the
deposits rather than just running off the surface of the
glass. Wipe the cleaner off with a soft cloth.
Important:
scratching or etching the glass
will weaken the integrity of the glass. Do not
use a razor blade, steel wool, or any other
abrasive material to clean the glass. Use low
alkaline content cleaners only.
The front door glass is a ceramic, shock-resistant
material, made specifically for use in woodstoves.
Do not use any replacement glass other than the
ceramic glass manufactured and supplied for use in
this woodstove. Replacement glass is available
through your local dealer.
Replace the door glass immediately if broken.
Contact your local dealer for replacement glass,
which is accompanied with instructions and
everything needed for the repair. If you replace the
glass yourself, wear suitable work gloves and safety
glasses.
The procedure for glass and glass gasket
replacement is as follows:
1. Remove the door by lifting it straight up off
the hinges with the hinge pins remaining in
the door.
2. Place the door face down on a flat, smooth
surface.
3. Apply penetrating oil to the screws in the
glass retainer clips. Remove the screws to
separate the glass from the door.
4. Carefully lift the damaged glass from the
door and discard.
5. Peel the paper backing from the tape gasket.
Apply the new gasket to the new glass as
illustrated above.
6. Place the gasketed glass onto the door.
7. Screw the glass retainer clips back on the
door.
8. Install the door.

To maintain the natural beauty of your stove’s
polished soapstone finish, only occasional cleaning is
necessary. Clean the soapstone with water, any non-
abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Wipe dust from the
stone with a clean cloth. Soapstone is porous - do not
use chemical agents to wash the stone; do not use
waxes or any polishing agents on the stone.
Care must be taken not to scratch or chip the stone.
Do not set items, which can scratch or chip the stone
(or enamel finish), on top of your stove.
Often, with use, and over time, subtle earth tones of
brown, red, and yellow appear in the soapstone. This
is a natural reaction in the soapstone. Surface or
hairline fractures may also appear in the stone after a
stove is used. Such changes are normal and do not
affect the operation or the integrity of the stove and
do not require replacement. If you observe a
completely broken stone, contact your dealer for
service.

Exterior cast iron parts are either painted with black,
high-temperature stove paint or porcelainized with an
enamel finish in various colors.
Use black, high-temperature stove paint (satin black
by Stovebright for example) to touch up and maintain
the original appearance of painted cast iron. Use a
damp sponge to wipe clean. Dry the cast iron
thoroughly to prevent rusting.
Enamel castings can be cleaned with a standard
glass cleaner. With time and use, a very fine, subtle
network of crazed lines may appear seemingly
beneath the surface of the enamel. Crazing is a
natural predictable process and does not represent a
flaw.
