4. Glass Cleaning
• Frequency: As necessary
By: Homeowner
•
• Task: Clean glass with a nonabrasive 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.
Quadra-Fire stoves are equipped with ceramic super heat-
resistant glass, which can only be broken by impact or
misuse. Do not slam stove door or impact the glass. When
closing door, make sure that logs do not protrude against the
glass. Inspect glass regularly. If you find a crack or break,
immediately put the fire out and return the door to your dealer
for replacement of glass before further use.
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 smoky, relatively cool condition of a low fire
will cause the glass to become coated. Operating the appli-
ance with the Primary Air Control all the way open for 15-0
minutes should remove the built up coating.
CAUTION
Handle glass assembly with care.

5. Cleaning Plated Surfaces
• Frequency: As necessary
By: Homeowner
•
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. Use
warm soapy water and a soft rag, glass cleaner and a
paper towel, or vinegar and a paper towel to remove the
oils. After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the
finish and little maintenance is required. Wipe clean as
needed.
