MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Cleaning Glass: Ensure appliance is cold prior
to cleaning glass. A commercial glass cleaner
designed for stoves is recommended. Do not use
abrasive cleaners. Do not clean with any materials,
which may scratch or otherwise damage the glass.
Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or
break. Inspect the glass regularly. If you detect a
crack, extinguish the fire and contact your dealer
for a replacement.
GLASS CLEANING GUIDELINES
WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN APPLIANCE IS HOT!
Glass on any wood stove or fireplace insert will not stay perfectly clean.
Here are some guidelines for cleaning and caring for the glass:
• Ensure the appliance is cold prior to cleaning glass.
• This appliance is designed to provide a flow of air over the inside of
the glass, where along with high heat helps inhibit build-up on the
glass. When build-up occurs, a commercial glass cleaner designed
for stoves is recommended. Regular household glass cleaners will
not clean creosote.
• Do not use abrasives such as steel pads, steel wool or oven cleaner
as they will scratch the glass. Never scrape glass with a razor blade
as this may pit the glass and make it impossible to clean in the future.
• Do not use chemical glass cleaners as they may damage the gaskets
or painted surfaces.
TIPS FOR KEEPING THE GLASS CLEAN
• Burn only dry seasoned cord wood. Wet wood = Dirty glass.
• A short, hot fire (15 - 20 minutes) may help to clean off some of the
normal buildup. Lower burns = more build-up. Higher burns = less
build-up.
• Keep freshly loaded wood away from the glass.
• After reloading, allow all the wood to catch flame before dampering
down the appliance.

Step 6. Reinstall Faceplate and Screws - Reinstall faceplate onto door back and
while holding the door assembly together flip the assembly back onto it’s
