3. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency: When ash is within 1-3/4 in. (44mm) of firebox
lip
• By: Homeowner
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

4. Cleaning Plated Surfaces
• Frequency: Prior to first burn and then as desired
• By: Homeowner
Clean all the fingerprints and oils from plated surfaces
BEFORE firing the appliance for the first time. If not
cleaned properly before lighting your first fire, the oils
can cause permanent markings on the plating.
After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the
finish and little maintenance is required. Wipe clean
as needed.
• Do not use polishes with abrasives.
It will scratch plated surfaces.

5. Glass Cleaning
• Frequency: As desired
• By: Homeowner
Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive
cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack.
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 plated 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.
When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be flowing over
the glass and the smokey, relatively cool condition of a low
fire will cause the glass to become coated.
Operating the appliance with the Primary Air Control all
the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove the built up
coating.
