Do not operate the stove with a broken door glass. Do not
abuse the front door by striking or slamming.
When necessary, the glass can be cleaned with low
alkaline content commercial stove glass cleaners, which
are available from your local dealer. Never attempt to
clean the glass while the fire is burning or the glass is hot.
Most deposits can be cleaned by following the
instructions provided with the cleaner. To clean heavier
deposits, open the door and lift it straight up and off the
stove with the hinge pins remaining in the door (take care
to save hinge pins and washers for reuse). Lay the door
face down on a work bench or table. Apply the cleaner to
the glass and allow it to set for a few minutes. By laying
the door flat, it will allow the cleaner to penetrate rather
than running off the surface of the glass. Wipe the
cleaner off with a soft cloth.
Important: scratching or etching the glass will
weaken the integrity of the glass. Do not use a
razor blade, steel wool, or any other abrasive
material to clean the glass. Use low alkaline
content cleaners only.
The front door glass is a ceramic, shock-resistant glass,
made specifically for use in woodstoves. Do not use any
replacement glass other than the ceramic glass
manufactured and supplied for use in this woodstove.
Replacement glass is available through your local dealer.
The door glass should be replaced immediately if broken.
Contact your local dealer for replacement glass, which is
accompanied with instructions and everything needed for
the repair. If you replace the glass yourself, wear work
gloves and safety glasses.

The procedure for glass and glass gasket replacement is as
follows:
1. Remove the door by lifting it straight up off the
hinges with the hinge pins remaining in the door.
2. Place the door face down on a flat, smooth
surface.
3. Apply penetrating oil to the screws in the glass
retainer clips. Remove the screws to separate the
glass from the door.
4. Carefully lift the damaged glass from the door
and discard.
5. Peel the paper backing from the tape gasket.
Apply the new gasket to the new glass as
illustrated.
6. Place the gasketed glass onto the door.
7. Screw the glass retainer clips back on the door.
8. Install the door.

Occasional cleaning is all that should be necessary to
maintain the natural beauty of your stove's polished
soapstone finish. Clean the soapstone with water, any
non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Wipe dust from the
stone with a clean cloth. Do not use chemical agents to
wash the stone; do not use waxes or any polishing agents
on the stone.
Care must be taken not to scratch or chip the stone. Do
not set items that may scratch or chip the stone (or enamel
finish) on top of your stove.
Often, with use and over time, subtle earth tones of
brown, red and yellow appear on the soapstone. This is a
natural reaction in the soapstone. With normal use, hair
line or surface cracks may appear in the stone. Such
cracks do not affect the integrity or operation of the stove
and do not require replacement.

Exterior cast iron parts are either painted with black, high-
temperature stove paint or porcelainized with an enamel
finish in various colors.
Use black, high-temperature stove paint (satin black by
Stovebright) to touch up and maintain the original
appearance of painted cast iron. Use a damp sponge to
wipe clean. Dry the cast iron thoroughly to prevent
rusting.
Enamel castings can be cleaned with a standard glass
cleaner. With time and use, a very fine, subtle network of
crazed lines may appear seemingly beneath the surface of
the enamel. Crazing is a natural predictable process and
does not represent a flaw.
