could remain in ashes, hours after the fire has
been extinguished.

o
Open firedoor
o
Remove debris from combustion chamber.
o
Glass should be cleaned with special cleaning
agent. (contact your local stove-supplier,
regarding those cleaning agents).
o
If stove is being used properly, stove glass
should remain clean (There is always a
possibility that not all of conditions, for stove to
work properly, were met (some of the firewood
might be wet, chimney conditions not perfect
etc.), therefore glass might still soot up.

Note
o
Take into consideration, that ventilation hood,
which operates in same or nearby room,
creates negative pressure, which can cause
smoke to leak into the room instead through
chimney.
o
Ventilation hood also deprives stove of fresh
air, therefore, take care that stove has enough
fresh air to operate normally. .
