CARE AND MAINTENANCE
You should have your chimney, stove and connector pipe checked once every two
months during the heating season or at least once a year by a professional chimney
sweep and cleaned as needed.
When cleaning the stove carefully inspect the seals for damage. The seals should be in
good conditions and without damage.
When cleaning, checking or repairing, the stove must be cold.
If the glass has been covered in soot, here is a simple piece of advice:
• Dampen a piece of paper or newspaper, dip it into the cold ashes and rub the soot-
covered glass.
• Use another piece of paper to polish the glass.
• A good commercial glass cleaner can also be used.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners.
The outer surfaces can be wiped with a soft, dry rag and if needed a small amount of
mild detergent. NEVER scrub the surfaces.
Cleaning the soapstone:
Day-to-day cleaning can be made with a damp rag. If necessary the soapstone can be
carefully cleaned with some paint-thinner from the hardware store. For difficult stains
that cannot be dissolved by the paint-thinner, lightly sand them.
Cleaning the combustion chamber:
Rake out the ashes and store them in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid until
cooled completely before throwing them in the trash can. Other waste shall not be
placed in this container.
Remember NEVER to clean all ashes from the combustion chamber. Leave about a 3/4”
layer for better combustion.
