4.Glass Cleaning

•Frequency: As necessary

•By: Homeowner

•Task: Clean glass with a nonabrasive 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 firing can permanently stain the glass and damage the finish on plated metal surfaces.

Quadra-Fire stoves are equipped with ceramic super heat- resistant glass, which can only be broken by impact or misuse. Do not slam stove door or impact the glass. When closing door, make sure that logs do not protrude against the glass. Inspect glass regularly. If you find a crack or break, immediately put the fire out and return the door to your dealer for replacement of glass before further use.

A portion of the combustion air entering the firebox is deflected down over the inside of the door glass. This air flow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface. When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be flowing over the glass and the smoky, relatively cool condition of a low fire will cause the glass to become coated. Operating the appli- ance with the Primary Air Control all the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove the built up coating.

5.Cleaning Plated Surfaces

•Frequency: As necessary

•By: Homeowner

•Task: Clean all the fingerprints and oils from plated surfaces BEFORE firing the appliance for the first time. If not cleaned properly before lighting your first fire, the oils can cause permanent markings on the plating. Use warm soapy water and a soft rag, glass cleaner and a paper towel, or vinegar and a paper towel to remove the oils. After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the finish and little maintenance is required. Wipe clean as needed.

CAUTION

•Do not use polishes with abrasives, it will scratch plated surface.
