the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed

4. Cleaning Plated Surfaces
Frequency: Prior to first burn and then as desired
•
By: Homeowner
•
Clean all the fi ngerprints and oils from plated surfaces
BEFORE fi ring the appliance for the fi rst time. If not
cleaned properly before lighting your fi rst fi re, the oils
can cause permanent markings on the plating.
After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the
fi nish and little maintenance is required. Wipe clean as
needed.
CAUTION
• Do not use polishes with abrasives. It will scratch plated
surfaces.
5. Glass Cleaning
Frequency: As desired
•
By: Homeowner
•
Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive
cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack.
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.
cleaner left on during the next fi ring can permanently stain
the glass and damage the fi nish on plated metal surfaces.
A portion of the combustion air entering the fi rebox is defl ected
down over the inside of the door glass. This air fl ow "washes"
the glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface.
When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be fl owing over
the glass and the smoky, relatively cool condition of a low fi re
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.
