Window Maintenance

Some ovens have a viewing window accessory which enables the internal of the
oven to be viewed by the public to enhance the visual experience of stone hearth
cooking. In some cases the window may need to be cleaned as soot and smoke can
contaminate the inner glass.
Note: Only open the oven viewing window when the oven is OFF and cool.
There are a number of different cleaning agents available on the market, though the
method below explains a simple, cheap and effective method to cleaning the inner
glass.

Cleaning the Internal Glass

Using a sheet of regular newspaper, scrunch the sheet and lightly dampen the paper
in water. Apply the damp newspaper to some of the cool ash from the wood fire and
lightly wipe the glass to loosen the soot from the glass. When the soot is dissolved,
use a fresh sheet of damp newspaper to clean the remainder of the soot from the
glass.
This method also helps to prevent the build up of soot on the glass.
NOTE: Do not use any acidic or harsh cleaning agents to clean the glass, as they
could damage the protective coating on the glass.
The following page shows the sequence to remove the outer panes of glass to gain
access to the handle to open the viewing window.
