Occasional cleaning is all that should be necessary
to maintain the natural beauty of your stove’s
polished soapstone finish. Clean the soapstone with
water, any non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth.
Wipe dust from the stone with a clean cloth. Do not
use chemical agents to wash the stone; do not use
waxes or any polishing agents on the stone.
Take care to not scratch or chip the stone. Do not
set items, which can stain, scratch or chip the stone
(or enamel finish), on top of your stove.
Often, with use and over time, subtle earth tones of
brown, red, and yellow appear on the soapstone.
This is a natural reaction in the soapstone. Surface
or hairline fractures may appear in the stone after a
stove has been used. Such changes are normal and
do not affect the operation or the integrity of the
stove and do not require replacement. If you
observe a completely broken stone, contact your
dealer for service.

Exterior cast iron parts are either painted with black,
high-temperature stove paint or porcelainized with
an enamel finish in various colors. Use black, high-
temperature stove paint (satin black by
Stovebright
®
) to touch up and maintain the original
appearance of painted cast iron. Use a damp
sponge to wipe clean. Dry the cast iron thoroughly
to prevent rusting.
Enamel castings can be cleaned with a standard
glass cleaner. With time and use, a very fine, subtle
network of crazed lines may appear seemingly
beneath the surface of the enamel. Crazing is a
natural predictable process and does not represent
a flaw.
