4. Cleaning Plated Surfaces
• Frequency:
Prior to first burn and then as desired
• By:
Homeowner
Clean all the
fi
ngerprints and oils from plated surfaces
BEFORE
fi
ring the appliance for the
fi
rst time. If not
cleaned properly before lighting your
fi
rst
fi
re, the oils
can cause permanent markings on the plating.
After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the
fi
nish and little maintenance is required. Wipe clean as
needed.
5. Glass Cleaning
• Frequency:
As desired
• By:
Homeowner
Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive
cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack.
If the
deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal glass
cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be removed by
using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by using a
commercially available oven cleaner.
After using an oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any
residue with a glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven
cleaner left on during the next
fi
ring can permanently stain
the glass and damage the
fi
nish on plated metal surfaces.
A portion of the combustion air entering the
fi
rebox is de
fl
ected
down over the inside of the door glass. This air
fl
ow “washes”
the glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface.
When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be
fl
owing over
the glass and the smoky, relatively cool condition of a low
fi
re
will cause the glass to become coated.
CAUTION
• Do not use polishes with abrasives. It will scratch plated
surfaces.
Operating the appliance with the Burn Rate Air Control and
Start-Up Air Control all the way open for 15-20 minutes should
remove the built up coating.
