Maintenance Instructions

ASH DISPOSAL

During constant periods of use ashes must be periodically removed from the appliance to prevent a build-up which will affect the performance and limit the fuel load capacity. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be stored on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from any combustible material, pending final disposal. If the ashes are to be disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste must not be placed in this container.

CLEANING OF GOLD PLATED SURFACES

Gold is the very best material available for plating fireplace fronts, but it is not indestructible. The most common complaint with any plated surface on a wood burning appliance is discoloration. This can only be caused by heat and chemicals. The discoloration is permanent and cannot be removed without removing the gold plating. The following suggestions will help you keep the shine in your gold plating.

Keep plating free of dust and finger prints with DENATURED ALCOHOL applied with a very soft cloth. Do not use any other cleaners or polishes. Do not start a fire if there are finger prints or smudges on the gold plating, as they could become permanently etched in the gold plating. Make sure that the brick or stone is free of acid before installing the gold plating, consult your mason.
