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 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 smokey, 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.
CAUTION
Handle glass assembly with care.
