4.Glass Cleaning

•Frequency: As necessary

•By: Homeowner

•Task: See the following instructions.

Clean glass with a non-abrasive 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.

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 smokey, relatively cool condition of a low fire will cause the glass to become coated. Operating the appliance with the Burn Rate Air Control and Start-Up 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: See the following instructions.

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. After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the finish and little maintenance is required. Wipe clean as needed.
