4. Cleaning Plated Surfaces
• Frequency:
Prior to first burn and then as desired
• By:
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 commercial 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 fi rebox is defl ected
down over the inside of the door glass. This air fl ow “washes”
the glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface.
When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be fl owing over
the glass and the smoky, 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.
3. Disposal of Ashes
Fire Risk.
Disposal of Ashes
WARNING
• Ashes should be placed in metal container with tight
fi tting lid.
• Do not place metal container on combustible
surface.
• Ashes should be retained in closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
• Frequency:
When ash is within 1-3/4 in. (44mm) of
firebox lip
• By:
Homeowner
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
fi nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
C. Glass Replacement
1. Ensure that the fi re is out and the appliance is cool to the
touch.
2. Protect a table or counter top with padding or towels.
Protect your hands and wear gloves to prevent injury.
3. Remove the door with the broken glass by lifting the door
up and off of the hinges.
4. Lay door face down on a table or counter making sure the
handle hangs over the edge so the door lays fl at, on a soft
surface.
5. Remove the screws from each glass retainer and remove
the glass. (If screws are diffi cult to remove, soak with
penetrating oil fi rst).
6. Center the glass with edges evenly overlapping the open-
ing in the door, (i.e. same space top and bottom, left and
right sides).
7. Replace the glass retainers. Be careful not to cross thread
the screws.
8. Tighten each retainer just a few turns until each is
secured. Check again for centering of glass in door
frame. Continue to tighten each retainer alternately, a
few turns at a time, until the glass is secure. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
