Maintenance

Ash Removal

Always wear stove gloves when handling ashes.
Ash removal will be required periodically depending on
how frequently the stove is used. Use a steel ash shovel
and metal container with a tight-fitting lid. NEVER USE A
PAPER OR PLASTIC BAG AS AN ASH RECEPTACLE.
The 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 dis-
persed, they should be kept in the closed container until
all coals and cinders have thoroughly cooled.

Glass Care

Cleaning
Occasionally it will be necessary to clean the carbon
deposits and fly ash off of the glass. If deposits are al-
lowed to remain on the glass for an extended period of
time, the glass may become etched and cloudy.
Creosote deposits should burn off during the next hot
fire.
1. The Glass must be COMPLETELY COOL.
2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed for
this purpose. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANING
AGENTS, OR THOSE CONTAINING AMMONIA. The use
of abrasives will damage the glass, leaving a frosted
surface. Ammonia will etch the glass to the same
effect. Crumpled newspaper is an especially good
cleaning material.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before lighting a fire.
