Glass Cleaning; Ash Removal Using Ash Drawer - Osburn 1800 Owner's Manual

3.1.1 Glass Cleaning

Under normal operation the glass is designed to stay clean. Glass cleaning may be required
when burning damp wood and/or when burning slow fires. In general if the glass is not staying
clean then the unit is being under fired. Dirty glass may be self cleaned by burning a hot fire
(i.e. dry wood and opened draft controls) for a couple of hours. Good burning techniques will
result in clean glass.
Hand clean the glass only when the fire is out and the stove is cold. A light film can usually be
cleaned with paper towel and water. If heavy cleaning is required, a ceramic glass cleaner or
polish is recommended, and should be rinsed off with water for best results.
