Section 4.0 Maintenance

4.1 Care And Cleaning

Clean the insert frequently so that soot, ash and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the insert, glass or door when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with plated surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance. Do not use an abrasive glass cleaner which will scratch the glass or plated finish. Use only a soft clean damp cloth on the door, since some cleaners may remove the plating or paint.

4.1.1 Glass Cleaning and maintenance

Under normal operation the stove is designed to keep the glass clean. Glass cleaning may be required when burning damp wood and/or when burning slow fires. Generally if the glass is not staying clean then the unit is being under fired. Dirty glass may be self-cleaned by burning a hot fire (i.e. dry wood and opened draft controls) for a couple of hours. Good burning techniques will result in clean glass.

Hand clean the glass only when the fire is out and the insert is cold. A light film can usually be cleaned with paper towel and water. If heavy cleaning is required, a ceramic glass cleaner or polish is recommended, and should be rinsed off with water for best results.

To change the glass remove the 6 glass retainers and metal frame. Remove damaged glass and install the new one in place. Make sure you have a gasket around the replacement glass. Reinstall the metal frame and secure it with the glass retainers.

Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed, cracked or broken.

The glass must be replaced by a genuine part only. Failure to follow instructions or use of different material may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
