E. Glass Cleaning
• Frequency: As desired
• By: Homeowner
• 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 fi ring can permanently
stain the glass and damage the fi nish on plated metal
surfaces.
• A portion of the combustion air entering the fi rebox is de-
fl ected down over the inside of the door glass.
• This air fl ow "washes" the glass, helping to keep smoke
from adhering to its surface.
• When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be fl owing
over the glass and the smoky, relatively cool condition of
a low fi re will cause the glass to become coated.
• Operating the appliance with the Burn Rate Air Control
and Start-Up Air Control all the way open for 15-20 min-
utes should remove the built up coating.
CAUTION! 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
