Cleaning the Stove
Cleaning The Glass
Properly operated, with the correct fuel, your glass will remain clean. Slight staining may appear when the stove
is lit and below its operating temperature. This will normally clear as the stove’s temperature rises.
If it becomes necessary to clean the glass by hand do not attempt to do so unless the stove is cold. Proprietary
glass cleaning agents are available but they must specifically state its suitability for stove glass before being used
because the glass in you stove is not ordinary glass and may be damaged with an unsuitable cleaner.
Newspaper moistened with water to which a little vinegar has been added will normally remove most staining,
but for really stubborn marks, gentle polishing with fine steel wool lubricated with a few drops of dish washing
detergent will need to be employed. Great care must be taken not to clean the glass too vigorously as particles
of grit may have adhered with the stain and these could cause scratching if dragged across the glass. However
well the stove burns it will eventually become necessary to clean the glass, but if cleaning becomes necessary
too often we advise you to review your operating procedures to determine whether cleaner and more efficient
combustion can be achieved.
The Stove Body
Dusting the stove may be carried out when the stove is at its minimum heat output temperature, using light
strokes of a real bristle paint brush. Thorough cleaning, or any attempt to remove marks on the stove body must
only be done when the stove is cold. Stoves with an enamel finish should be cleaned with a damp cloth, or very
gentle use of a cleaner recommended for enamel finishes. It should be noted that even approved cleaners will
damage the highly polished finish of the stove if used too vigorously. All traces of the cleaner must be removed
before the stove is lit and no finishing polishes must ever be used as these will leave unsightly streaks on the
stove when it becomes hot.
Stoves with a cast black finish should never be cleaned with a cloth as the texture of the paint will abrade and
collect lint from the cloth which will be almost impossible to remove. Vigorous brushing with a stiff real bristle
paint brush will remove all dust, but where the paint is marked, the stains are better obliterated with a spray of
suitable stove paint rather than attempts made to clean them off. Suitable paint may be purchased from a stove
shop or direct from Euroheat.
Simple Maintenance
The stove must be cleaned of ash and any tarring as often as your use of the stove and fuel dictate. All deposits
on the stove interior will insulate the stove body from the fire and will reduce the stove’s efficiency. Flue ways
which become choked will not only reduce the stoves performance but can become a serious health risk if the
flue is not taking away all the products of combustion. Do not use a vacuum cleaner unless it is fitted with an
additional hot ash filter bin.
The Flue
Even if your flue is correctly lined it is advisable to run your stove at a high setting to thoroughly warm the flue
periodically and ensure it is swept regularly. If the stove has not been used for some time it will be necessary
to ensure the flue has not been blocked with twigs from home building birds or blocked with other obstructions
before the stove is lit. Lighting a small piece of paper within the stove will determine the flue’s ability to remove
any products of combustion. Warming the flue after a long period of inactivity may be required, as the flue may
be cold and damp, and the initial light up after this time may cause the stove to stall and die and even smoke
to be emitted into the room. For further information see Technical Document IN1088 Spring Autumn Syndrome.
