Maintenance, Cleaning and Painting Your Stove, Glass

SECTION 4.0 MAINTENANCE

4.1CLEANING AND PAINTING YOUR STOVE

Clean the stove frequently so that soot, ash, and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the stove 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 cleaner which will scratch the paint or plated finish. Use only a soft and clean damp cloth.

If the paint becomes scratched or damaged, it is possible to give your wood stove a brand new look, by repainting it with a 650oC heat resistant paint. For this purpose, simply scrub the surface to be repainted with fine sand paper, clean it properly, and apply thin coats (2) of paint successively. To retrieve the original finish, use the paint supplied by the manufacturer.

4.2GLASS

Under normal operation the glass is designed to stay clean. Glass cleaning may be required when burning damp wood and/or when burning slow fires. In general 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 stove 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. Glass specifications: Robax 5mm dimensions: 14 1/8" X 10 1/2"

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.
