Section 3.0 - Maintenance

3.1

Care And Cleaning

Clean the stove frequently so that soot, ash and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to
clean the stove, glass or door when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with Gold surfaces in
order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance. Do not use an abrasive glass cleaner which
will scratch the glass or gold finish. Use only a soft clean damp cloth on the door, since some
cleaners may remove the plating or paint.

3.1.1 Glass Cleaning

Under normal operation the glass is designed to stay clean. Glass cleaning may be required when
burning damp wood and/or when burning slow fires. In general if the glass is not staying clean
then the unit is being under fired. Dirty glass may be self cleaned by burning a hot fire (i.e. dry
wood and opened draft controls) for a couple of hours. Good burning techniques will result in
clean glass.
Hand clean the glass only when the fire is out and the stove is cold. A light film can usually be
cleaned with paper towel and water. If heavy cleaning is required, a ceramic glass cleaner or polish
is recommended, and should be rinsed off with water for best results.
