7.0 General Maintenance

As with your car, regular maintenance will prolong the life
of your stove and ensure satisfactory performance.
The following procedures do not take long and are
generally inexpensive, but when done consistently,
increase the life of your appliance and in turn, increase
your years of enjoyment.
Enamel Care
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT ENAMEL SURFACES.
Clean only cold enamel surfaces with a soft damp cloth
and polish with a clean dry cloth.
DO NOT USE SOAPY OR ABRASIVE SOLUTIONS. These
can cause stains. Coffee, tea, and fruit juices will also
cause stains.
• Avoid contact with metal objects. Trivets, kettles, or
pots, can damage the enamel.
• Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a vacuum
for this job if the vacuum is specifically designed for
ashes.
• Inspect the stove seams. Use a utility light to inspect
the stove inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace all
cracked parts and repair any cement leaks with furnace
cement.

Gaskets

Check door and window gaskets for tightness. To check
the seal of the front doors, close and latch the doors on a
dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill free. If it can
be easily removed then the seal is too loose. Check several
spots around the door, and repeat the procedure on the
ash pan door as well.
If gaskets need to be replaced, scrape out the old gasket
and cement and clean the area with a wire brush. Apply
a small bead of cement and push in the new gasket. After
closing and latching the doors wipe clean, any excessive
cement that has come from beneath the gasketing.
