6.5 MAINTENANCE TECHNIQUES

6.5.1 BURN POT
Remove and empty burn pot.
Scrape, when necessary.
6.5.2 Glass
Vacuum the ashes that may have accumulated into
the airwash system inlet between the bottom glass
retainer and the glass. This will allow an optimum air
flow along the inside portion of the glass and prevents
the glass from sooting-up.
Clean the glass when necessary. The use of a stove
glass cleaner is recommended. Regular household
glass cleaners will not remove creosote properly.
