C. General Maintenance
Types of Fuel
The type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you have
to clean your burnpot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content , it may
be necessary to clean the burnpot more than once a day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the burnpot. A clinker is
formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is heated
to 2000°F (1093°C) and becomes glass-like.
Enamel Touch-Up
Enamel touch up paint is provided for fixing minor enamel
chips or blemishes that may occur after stove installation.
Unfortunately, because the enamel finish of your stove is
a baked on glass finish, this enamel touch up paint may
not be a perfect match to the color and gloss of the original
factory finish. To use this touch up paint: Ensure the stove
is cool and that the surface to be painted is clean. Apply in
several light coats and take care to only coat the chipped
area. Allow the paint to dry for 24 hours before touching or
firing the stove.
