when the stove is cool by wiping with a damp cloth or paper towel and then drying.
Never try to
clean the glass when the stove is hot.
In spring and fall when the stove is run at lower temperatures, you may see some light brown
stains forming, especially at the lower corners of the glass. This indicates that the fire has been
smoky and some of the smoke has condensed on the glass. When the weather is mild, you may
find that letting the fire go out is better than trying to maintain a continuous fire. Use the technique
described above for building a fire to take the chill off the house.
If you do get brown stains on the glass you can remove them with special cleaners for wood stove
glass doors.
Do not use abrasives to clean your stove’s door glass.
The deposits that form on the glass are the best indication of the quality of your fuel and how well
you are doing in operating the stove. Your goal should be clear glass with no brown stains. If you
continue to see brown stains on the glass, something about your fuel and operating procedure
needs to be changed. Stains on the glass indicate incomplete combustion of the wood, which also
means more smoke emissions and faster formation of creosote in the chimney.
If you see brown streaks coming from the edge of the glass, it is time to replace the gasket around
the glass. Visit your stove retailer to get the self-adhesive glass gasket and follow the instructions
below for installation.
In order for your stove to burn
at its best efficiency, the door
must provide a perfect seal
with the firebox. Therefore, the
gasket should be inspected
periodically making sure to
obtain an air tight fit.
Airtightness can be improved
with a simple latch mechanism
adjustment. To increase the
pressure on the gasket,
remove one washer (A). To
reduce pressure on the door,
when putting a new door
gasket for example, put two
washers. To adjust:
1. Unscrew the nut.
2. Remove the door latch and
the key path pin (B).
3. Remove or add one
washer (A) as needed.
Keep the removed washer
for future adjustment.
4. Re-install the key path pin
in the key-way and slide
the latch along it.
5. Secure with the nut.
