4. Cleaning Plated Surfaces
•
Frequency:
Prior to first burn and then as desired
•

Homeowner
Clean all the fi ngerprints and oils from plated surfaces
BEFORE
fi ring the appliance for the fi rst time. If not
cleaned properly before lighting your fi rst fi re, the oils
can cause permanent markings on the plating.
After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the
fi nish and little maintenance is required. Wipe clean as
needed.
Handle glass assembly with care.
When cleaning glass:
• Avoid striking, scratching or
slamming glass.
• Do NOT clean glass when hot.
CAUTION
• Do NOT use abrasive cleaners.
• Use a hard water deposit glass cleaner on white fi lm.
• Use commerical oven cleaner on heavier deposits.
• Remove all residue of oven cleaner or will permanently
stain glass on next fi ring.
•
Refer to maintenance instructions.

5. Glass Cleaning
•
Frequency:
As desired
•
By:
Homeowner
Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive
cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack.
If the
deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal glass
cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be removed
by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by using
a commercially available oven cleaner.
After using an oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any
residue with a glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven
cleaner left on during the next fi ring can permanently
stain the glass and damage the fi nish on plated metal
surfaces.
A portion of the combustion air entering the firebox is
defl ected down over the inside of the door glass. This air
fl ow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke from adher-
ing to its surface.
When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be fl owing
over the glass and the smokey, relatively cool condition of a
low fi re will cause the glass to become coated.
Operating the appliance with the Burn Rate Air Control and
Start-Up Air Control all the way open for 15-20 minutes
should remove the built up coating.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fi tting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible fl oor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending

in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
