NORMAL CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE GLASS
When the fire is first started, it will produce some smoke. The smoke might accumulate on the glass surface. Before the fire gets hot, open the door and wipe the glass surface off with a damp rag.
If after constant use, the glass might fill with ash deposits. You must clean the glass after the glass has cooled down. Do not touch the surface with your hands.Take a damp rag and wipe the glass clean. If this does not clean the glass use any
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final 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 been thoroughly cooled.
REMOVAL OF CERAMIC GLASS
Open the door and lift off of hinges. If the door is tight, tap gently on the bottom of the door with your hand or rubber hammer. Lay door down on newspaper with glass clips facing you. Loosen the screws and take off the glass clips. Remove the broken glass carefully and discard.
Reverse the above procedure for replacing new glass with new gasket.
FUEL POT REMAINS
The “clinker” is the solid mass that remains unburned in the burner pot. It contains the inorganic parts of the fuel and is safe to use as fertilizer or dispose of in a proper container.
SOOT AND FLY ASH
The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash and soot will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of flue gasses. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the parlor stove will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once per month (during heavy use) to determine if cleaning is necessary. Corn has a high ash content.
