Handle glass assembly with care. Glass is breakable.
• Avoid striking, scratching or slamming glass
• Avoid abrasive cleaners
• Do not clean glass while it is hot
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 firing can permanently stain
the glass and damage the finish on metal surfaces.
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.
5. Cleaning Plated Surfaces
• Frequency: Prior to first burn and then as desired
• By: Homeowner
